Seemingly non-notable competition, and the article is very promotional. "Europan" is the adjective for Europa, so I suggest redirecting there after deleting. Off-topic: Europan colonization should be a redirect to Colonization of Europa; also, European colonization and Colonization of Europe should probably redirect to the same article, but I could be mistaken. wumbolo ^^^ 21:41, 9 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Not seeing a lot of evidence of WP:BEFORE here. Just on book sources there is Global Gentrification which, although Europan is tangential to the subject of the book, or even the chapter, discusses it over several pages. Housing + Single-Family Housing discusses several Europan projects. Europan 6 is a book about the Dutch entries, and I think is independent of the Europan organisers, Likewuse Europan 8 in Nederland. And here's a news article. There's probably a lot more, but I don't think I really need to look any further. SpinningSpark 16:56, 10 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Appears that the vast majority of the sourcing is mere mentions, or are primary sources (at least 2 of the above references are works put out by Europan --- Europan 6 and Europan 8). However the Global Gentrifications and the Archinect article are a good start. In fact, Archinect seems to discuss each of the individual competitions in-depth.
