    • Comment Thanks, I only just now noticed the proper way to propose more than one article. Lilac Soul 07:24, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

• Keep cup finals deserve an article, and the Royal League is at a pretty high level. ArtVandelay13 07:47, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Important info already present in Royal League season-by-season articles. Number 57 08:02, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
• Merge with Royal League 2004-05 Irishjp 14:04, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
• The level of this tournament is not particularly high... Could be merged per Irishjp. Punkmorten 18:35, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
• Keep I can't believe I'm commenting on a soccer article, but this is an important cup in the three Nordic countries. It's a pretty important league (and the finals are even more important) for these countries. I would find it useful if I were actually interested in this sport. I disagree with LilacSoul's characterization of this event as being "minor." OrangeMarlin ^{Talk• Contributions} 00:30, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
• Keep This is a competition between the best teams, the cream of the leagues in Norway, Sweden and Denmark. Both the UEFA website and the FIFA website carry articles on this competition, which suggests to me that it is notable in the footballing heirarchy. A FIFA article[1] describes it as being a "...prestigous title..." [sic], which confirms notability to me. Certainly, it is of a higher level than domestic football. Consequently, I say keep and improve the articles (a little narrative about the play a la 1998 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup Final would be good.) --Malcolmxl5 21:22, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
• Merge per Irishjp's suggestion. Chengwes 07:27, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
• Merge, they're very short, so a section in their parent article is more appropriate. --Angelo 00:44, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
• Keep all - This is a notable cup final and it is normal for such football cup finals to have their own article. TerriersFan 20:19, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
• Keep all given that we have articles for the finals of many other club competitions, and this features the top clubs in the participating countries. Robotforaday 23:41, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
• Keep all notable cup final. ♦Tangerines♦·Talk 03:31, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
• Keep all I couldn't have put it better than Malcolmxl5. Maybe look at FA Cup Final 2002 for a better lineups/colours format. slυмgυм [ ←→ ] 20:38, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
