Merge in to ONE article and Delete ALL of these stubs. Delete ALL and Merge in to ONE. These could easily be merged in to one article called 2011 European Youth Winter Olympic Festival. What's the point of creating all these articles for one event unless the article is too large to handle. Nipsonanomhmata ^(Talk) 21:57, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment It would be too long to handle per your suggestion. And a parent article does exist: 2011 European Youth Winter Olympic Festival. The question is really whether a listing of all athletes (like is done at the olympics/major regional games/some world championships, etc.) is needed for an event of such minor, relatively, notability.

I don't think that it is a bad thing to merge in to the 2011 European Youth Winter Olympic Festival. It's not a small event and as youth opportunities go it's a very special event. I think that there should be an article about the event itself because it is a continental event. But it' is overkill to have all of these stub articles. I understand the point that you are making. Well made. Nipsonanomhmata ^(Talk)

Delete ALL I hate to see so much work go to waste. But Ravendrop is right. Nipsonanomhmata ^(Talk) 22:31, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - give people time. I'm sure the point of these articles are not to list people. The event itself is notable, and the participating nations also. Number of participants, whats sports they reprsent, what medals/places they got etc - makes a quite wide coverage. Look also articles in Category:Nations at the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics, I don't think they should be deleted. Pelmeen10 (talk) 16:18, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Event is notable and even more popular than many multi-sport events that also have different articles about every country in wikipedia. Bearas (talk) 13:23, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete all given that it is not a top level international competition unlike Winter Olympics individual country articles are not required. anything useful should be in 2011 European Youth Winter Olympic Festival. LibStar (talk) 03:20, 3 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete all per WP:WWIN: Wikipedia is not a directory or a collection of stats. I'm sorry that so much work went into this. Location (talk) 23:24, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
