[edit] Indiana versus Indiana State(Soccer game)

Per the author's edit summary, "I wonder if this will last." My vote is "no," at least not without some details on why this game is sufficiently signiciant (aside from the lopsided score). WP:NOT, Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. RidG Talk 05:42, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

• Comment perhaps it belongs in a trivia section on another page about college soccer or soccer itself, but not its own page. Seems like a notable statistic, but not more than that, so no scope for an article. SM247 06:22, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

• Merge with a soccer article per above, but only if this is a fairly unique occurrence - if such scores happen regularly, just delete. SM247 08:10, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

• Merge to the appropriate article (possibly college soccer), as the trivia is definitely notable. --Coredesat talk 07:06, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. After further research (which involved looking through the NCAA Media Guide, which I had to find myself), this article isn't truthful. "Points" and "goals" are not one and the same in soccer, and only 19 goals were scored in that game. --Coredesat talk 07:27, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. This wasn't the most lopsided soccer game ever. In 2002, in Madagascar, AS Adema beat SOE 149-0 (the losing team spent the whole game scoring own goals in protest of a referee's decision). [1] --Metropolitan90 07:52, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per Coredesat, however the game did show up on p16 of the media guide as most points scored in a game. Good factoid to smerge somewhere, although where i'm not sure. hateless 08:24, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, though 'tis a pity that this is probably the only football that Indiana University is any good at. Smerdis of Tlön 14:24, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Wikipedia is not a collection of (semi) interesting facts. Ted^Talk/_{Contributions} 15:07, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
• Merge with Indiana University. Wikibout-Talk to me! 15:10, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
• Merge with College soccer article, as trivia (I suppose) with proper citations and (per Coredesat) verification of facts. ---Charles 20:21, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Actually, according to the media guide, this wasn't the most lopsided college soccer game, either. Not sure there's anything mergeable here. --Coredesat talk 05:04, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment Still, don't you think there is something at least slightly notable about the match? ---Charles 04:03, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
