Unremarkable event at a school. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 04:52, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Several justifications, while they may be a stretch. First, Dutch Blitz is most commonly associated with the Mennonite church. The packaging contains a poem in Pennsylvania Dutch, which is only spoken by the Old Order Mennonite community, and the game is clearly aiming at this demographic. Therefore, a Mennonite institution declaring a tournament to be a "World Championship" carries more weight than it would if it were another college. Second, while the event is clearly in its infancy (a single year, attended only by the students and faculty of that institution, can hardly be considered a serious event), it was important enough to be prominently reported by the school paper, and it is quite likely that it will become an annual event. I would also refer users who support deletion to the World Pie Eating Championship site. This, aside from having happened for multiple years, hardly seems more notable.

- Then show exactly why it should be kept, as in if it in accordance with WP:NOTABILITY or WP:REFERENCE. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 05:11, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Beyond saying that the organization behind the event, Eastern Mennonite University, is a credible source for the authority of declaring a "world championship" in this particular game, and that there are quite a few world championship pages on Wikipedia, some of which are quite dubious, there isn't a whole lot of justification. As the event is held in the next few years, there will be a much more substantial argument for its inclusion, but currently the argument is philosophical rather than factual. Factually, there's little doubt that the article isn't notable. Dylanzehr (talk) 05:34, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- If you want the article to be kept, first improve the article, find reliable sources, find references, if not, sorry. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 05:37, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. It lacks independent coverage. Pcap ping 01:33, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete I'm fine with the school paper as a source, but you need one more source and facebook isn't going to cut it. If there isn't one, this event doesn't meet our requirements for notability (see WP:N). Maybe next year... Hobit (talk) 13:11, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per Hobit and Pcap above. Regards, Arbitrarily0 (talk) 22:42, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
