FIRS Inline Hockey World Championships[edit]

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

Largely unsourced. Trivial and non-notable. Fails WP:GNG. Also see WP:SPORTCRIT. Full of redlinks, many of which have been deleted by WP:AFD. Created as part of a large swath of pages by a single user who has since left. Zackmann08 (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 17:04, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep First off. World Championships are very clearly not trivial. Easily sourced per WP:GNG if the nom followed even the slightest WP:BEFORE process. Secondly, WP:SPORTCRIT applies to athletes not leagues or teams. Who created the articles is of little matter, many editors edit only in specific topics. For some unclear reason the nom has been trying to wipe out all inline hockey articles. Some of which are very clearly notable. -DJSasso (talk) 18:19, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per everything DJSasso said above. Essentially none of the nom's rationale is actually applicable. Lepricavark (talk) 18:35, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The size and international scope of the tournament, combined with the sources already in the article and available elsewhere, all add up to surpassing the notability standard. Alansohn (talk) 19:38, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep World championships are clearly notable. Plenty of sources are available. Nomination is disruptive. Nominator should be ashamed. Smartyllama (talk) 20:47, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per all above. World championships are notable. Ejgreen77 (talk) 11:59, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This nom is on a one man wrecking crew, call it a WP:AGENDA to wipe out the existence of this sport. In the process, he is out to destroy the hard work of other editors of years past. This article has been around for more than 5 years and has had multiple editors contribute. He is using a misapplication of WP:SPORTSCRIT to misguide the discussions. The appropriate standard is WP:NSPORTS where this World Championship level event would obviously pass the notability standard. For other editors, as I dissect the damage of already deleted articles, I am having them restored to my sandbox. I don't have much editing time currently, so please feel free to look those articles up in my sandbox. User:Trackinfo/sandbox/Inline hockey restoration project Go ahead, properly add sources. Make these subjects worthy of reposting and capable of passing (or better, discouraging) any AfD. Trackinfo (talk) 02:17, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
