Doesn't hold notability by itself, as a single match. Even if it happens to, then it should be created much closer to the match, if not after. Consider merging with Super League XXIV. Willbb234^Talk (please {{ping}} me in replies) 15:45, 17 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Very obviously notable event, just not a fully fleshed out article.Fleets (talk) 17:38, 17 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Fleets: a single match is a notable event? Also, you its hard to judge notability as it hasn’t even happened yet! Willbb234^Talk (please {{ping}} me in replies) 19:03, 17 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, per consistency with multiple other finals in this and other sports here. I think you are thinking of quality of the game, as that is unknown, the notability is the event itself, not what happens on the field, as that would only increase the notability from a level where it is inherently notable.Fleets (talk) 17:46, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Just a heads up... Rugby League is a different game and has its own project. So you may want to change the article listed for deletion, as it is listed under Union. This comes under League.

Keep - Notable event, and although the finalists have yet to be decided, the event is only three weeks away so it seems reasonable to set up the page now. I have added a reference and some categories. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:08, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, close enough so that WP:CRYSTAL doesn't apply, and while currently poorly sourced, the single source does provide enough proof. As Cwmhiraeth stated, since it will likely be re-created in 3 or so weeks, not worth the time to delete by this point. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 12:00, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral leaning towards Keep: This page is notable as it around the second biggest league competition in club rugby league and with the fact that their has been an article for the Grand Final since the first GF makes it notable. For me I would redirect it for another two weeks until we get more info but by the time this is finished, we should know at least one of the finalists.

Keep The Super League final is clearly a notable sporting event and one of the most significant annual Rugby League events. I would note recent finals have had attendances of over 64,000 (and many over 70,000), and extensive media coverage. I did wonder if the article had been created a bit prematurely, but agree with the arguments above about it being swiftly recreated if it was deleted for this reason. I would stress that the event is now less than a month away and it would take something extraordinary to happen for it not to take place so I do not think that there is a WP:CRYSTAL issue.

Keep and close per WP:SNOW. Notable event that is about to happen shortly so WP:CRYSTAL doesn't apply. Passes WP:GNG.4meter4 (talk) 03:23, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Clearly notable and it appears that we have consensus. - Ret.Prof (talk) 14:27, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
