This topic fails WP:NLIST, because it is not discussed as a group by reliable independent sources, none of these tournaments are enough to make somebody notable as a matter of merely winning, and Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Also, 'major' is rather subjective, particularly in a listing of crossword tournaments, there seems to be no clearly defined criteria here. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 22:22, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. "Major" appears to be whatever the article creator wants it to be, and the tournaments with articles already list their winners there. power~enwiki (π, ν) 02:03, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
