Talk:Madhouse in Maryland

Should be deleted

Nothing against what happened, but I don’t think it’s significant enough to be placed as an article. I think it’s too hyped up. 24.187.44.52 (talk) 01:47, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

There is plenty of media coverage of it and there is precedent for such a thing. (Miracle in Motown, Hail Murray) ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 01:58, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

That’s fair. I wonder if there could be a page to request potential deletion and see what others say. 24.187.44.52 (talk) 02:36, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

My only real concern in that respect is whether the article should have a more neutral name. The number of names for this play, as listed in the first paragraph, suggests that "Madhouse in Maryland" is a somewhat unilateral selection by the person who created the article. "2024 Commanders–Bears game" might be more neutral, with the first paragraph then saying something along the lines of, "The game ended on a Hail Mary pass variously referred to as" followed by the various names. ("Madhouse" is a somewhat odd way to refer to a single play—that sort of word would normally describe a facility, in this case the stadium.) 1995hoo (talk) 11:43, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

The name of the play is either “Madhouse in Maryland” or “Hail Mary(land).” I’ve never heard of the media referring to the play as some of the others you’re mentioning, such as “Hail Noah.” Precisely why I think it should be deleted. 24.187.44.52 (talk) 13:59, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

That is not a valid reason for deletion and it passes WP:GNG. It hasn't even been 48 hours yet so let's see if a more common name sticks by the end of the week. ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 21:28, 29 October 2024 (UTC)
