The Dubai Trophy[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Non-notable sporting event. This event does not seem to be sanctioned by any national or international governing body, and appears to be a local tournament with no demonstrated notability. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 16:15, 6 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Dubai trophy is one of the major 12 goal tournaments at Ham Polo Club. The club is a fully affiliated Hurlingham Polo Association club. The tournament is therefore an HPA tournament played under their guidelines. The dubai trophy is not a local tournament, this year it attracted teams from Thailand, Pakistan and Jordan as well as the UK. The runners up in the final last year included England polo captain Luke Tomlinson. Hissam Ali Hyder, the highest handicapped Pakistani international is a regular player as well. The trophies donor is also a very important figure in the sport worldwide.

For these reasons i believe the tournament deserves its own article.

Many Thanks

Delete The question is notability, and at first search I thought this trophy was highly notable. Google News [1] provides a number of hits in major Reliable Sources for "Dubai Trophy". But it turns out that all those hits are for similarly named trophies in golf, tennis, sailing, rugby, and other sports. I couldn't find a thing for the polo trophy. It is already mentioned at the Ham Polo Club article, and that is enough. --MelanieN (talk) 17:13, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
