No references to support the list, source mentioned in the article just tells about the winners, not the finalists and winners are already nentioned in German Open article of all five categories. zoglophie 05:47, 26 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If the main argument is that some references are missing, should not the article be tagged with "Reference needed" or something similar instead of deleting the complete article? MontanNito (talk) 20:39, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment MontanNito we generally do not have separate articles for each category. And even if this list is kept, are we going to ignore that it has been fully unreferenced since it's creation 15 years ago? The bottom of the page show us one source, it does not give details about the finalists/Runners-up. The other 2 lists are even worse. Redirecting to the main article could be an option, though. zoglophie 07:01, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete unsourced list, though the topic itself is notable. I could potentially change to keep if properly sourced. Frank Anchor 18:18, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
