The result was delete. Can be recreated as a redirect if a suitable target is found. Sandstein 09:03, 12 July 2020 (UTC)reply
Really tricky one. It exists, and it has mentions, mainly for football (soccer) but also in other sports. However it has no notability I can see, and is more a dictionary definition - and in this case, an overly-long definition with no sources. I think it coul possibly be useful on Wiktionary.

This term is used in other sports so I'm not sure if a redirect would be appropriate.

Delete - useful in Wiktionary but not for Wikipedia

It also has another meaning. To say "he's got the game in hand" means that he's expected to win. I'd never heard the other use before. Do we do soft redirects to Wiktionary?

Delete or redirect if a suitable target can be found. This is a term, but an article should be based on more than mere existence. And a lot of this stuff is unsourced, wandering off topic.
