Keep didn't expect to !vote keep for this initially, but the game does pass
WP:GNG as it's been discussed for years in Algerian press due to the death of a player and due to the fact it's a local rivalry, and it doesn't violate
WP:MEMORIAL because it's not written as an obituary. Desperately needs a copy edit for wording and neutrality, though, and could see it being deleted on those grounds or potentially merged into the player's article, but I think the topic itself notable.

Not a good excuse. By that measure, we should have
United States v Colombia (1994 FIFA World Cup) be an article and not a redirect because the topic has received even more coverage than the Algerian match and also involved the death of a player from the losing team.

The fact the article meets
WP:GNG isn't a good enough excuse to keep the article?

Comment If this is kept can at we least rename to JS Kabylie 1–2 USM Alger (2014) to keep it consist with other single match games.

Merge to
Albert Ebossé Bodjongo#Death per N57, as that is what the article/coverage deals with, and a separate article is not justified.

Merge - the game itself is not notable, just one specific incident, and that is more appropriately covered in the player's article --

Merge - The game was only notable due to the death of the player that played in this match. This could probably be better used in either the rivally or be placed in the player article.

Comment Merge? What parts do people want to merge? Just the prose? It doesn't help that the content is really poorly written. No one offered up
2014–15 Algerian Ligue Professionnelle 1 to add content too. The game is only notable for the death at the end? Erm, maybe something happened in the game which partly led to the event. Feels like some people are missing the finer points here.
