Fails WP:GNG and the country did not compete at the event. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 06:23, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Soft keep The country was represented at the games even if their one competitor was unable to start their race. Epluribusunumyall (talk) 08:20, 8 January 2023 (UTC)08:20, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment current guidelines at WP:MSE/guidelines would have the article be maintained even though athletes from the CAR didn't have a role in the final results.

- WP:NSPORT does not agree with this, and is the consensus agreed guideline. Joseph2302 (talk) 18:00, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  WP:NSPORT doesn't discuss this other than with regards to the Olympics/Paralympics, where it says that SigCov exists for countries competing at such games. Epluribusunumyall (talk) 08:37, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Understandable nomination, but the country was represented at the games and should have an article of its own. There's potential for expansion of the article. Ie. how did the athlete qualify, why was she unable to compete, etc. Kaffe42 (talk) 19:46, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with Central African Republic: into the sports section (which has barely any content in it) If the content ever develops further the redirect can be replaced or a more general article on Central African Republic at the World Athletics Championships can be created as the main article for Category:Central African Republic at the World Championships in Athletics // Timothy :: talk 21:10, 15 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete; I expected substantially more content here, given the !votes thus far, but we're talking about a single athlete who did not compete. How does this deserve a standalone article? At best I could support a redirect to 2019 World Athletics Championships – Women's 200 metres, or to 2019_World_Athletics_Championships#Participants, which between them contain all the information in this title. Also, WP:NOTDATABASE applies; where is the substantive coverage for this topic independent of the event? Vanamonde (Talk) 22:55, 15 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Lord Roem ~ (talk) 01:26, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete if there were actual results of participants it would be a keep, but there are none. Oppose Merge with Central African Republic as we would not merge such insignificant information into a country article. LibStar (talk) 04:49, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete notwithstanding the wider issue of whether we should be creating these articles for every country at this championships anyway, there are no results or significant information to show, as no-one from this country competed. Joseph2302 (talk) 09:38, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
