Article's first reference discusses the player mentioned in its title, not the event, second reference hits a 404 error (dead link). There may be references in Chinese to indicate the notability of this article's subject, but there do not appear to be sufficient English language sources that do. Failing their appearance, I propose it be deleted. KDS4444^Talk 13:50, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

• Keep - This event is an annual Players Tour Championship event entering it's second year featuring a significant number of the world elite players including the reigning World Champion (who is also the current defending champion of this event). The event is recognised by World Snooker and just as significant as Yixing Open or any of the annual event's held in Europe such as the Gdynia Open, Riga Open and Ruhr Open. The 404 error (dead link) appears to have been fixed to a credible English language source, making the event significant enough to warrant keeping. - Golf is super cool (talk) 15:47, 18 October 2015 (UTC)

• Keep - Might be a poor article but must be kept. One of the Players Tour Championship 2015/2016 events. Nigej (talk) 17:22, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

Relisting comment: Two of the keep !votes are not policy based arguments putting this discussion at 1 delete and 1 keep. The WP:BURDEN is on the keep camp to show GNG is met. Giving this article either more time or more participation for policy based comments. Mkdw^talk 19:52, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

• Keep. An event is presumed to be notable if it receives significant, non-routine coverage that persists over a period of time. Coverage should be in multiple reliable sources with national or global scope. From de:Haining Open 2014 the verifiable notability of the 2014 ought to be unquestioned. I did a search for sources on this years tournament, and there are plenty, a little selection in four languages...
