Delete individual meetings of this type. Geschichte (talk) 09:57, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
~~Keep~~ (see below). It wasn't cancelled, although the scope and format were drastically impacted, and it was a televised event so it must meet WP:GNG per WP:NEXIST. No Great Shaker (talk) 21:13, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

An individual athletics meet is akin to an individual soccer match, only less televised and with a lesser live audience. And such individual events are covered only in cases where there is a lasting impact. The notion that "it was a televised event so it must meet WP:GNG" is therefore fallacious.

Delete It is regrettable that it had to be cancelled but something that has not happened is not notable. Nika2020 (talk) 19:56, 13 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Changing my entry above. Sorry, Geschichte, I thought this was a long-standing major games event but I must be thinking of another one. However, can Fbdave and Nika2020 please note that it was not actually cancelled? Thanks. No Great Shaker (talk) 11:48, 14 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The "Impossible Games" was arranged, without most of the events from Bislett Games but at the same time and in the same stadium. Geschichte (talk) 12:48, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
