I am listing this for deletion after Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2014 July 27#Match World Cup was closed as:

No consensus. Opinions are divided between allowing recreation and endorsing the deletion. It's not clear to me whether these are incompatible views. In my view, if somebody recreates the article now, it is likely to be speedily deleted unless it uses sources that were not discussed in previous discussions, in which case it may be made subject to a new deletion discussion.  Sandstein  10:02, 16 August 2014 (UTC)

I have added sources to and expanded the article so that {{db-repost}} no longer applies. Cunard (talk) 19:48, 17 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete this still does not pass GNG, there is no "significant coverage" regarding the actual tournament itself. GiantSnowman 17:27, 18 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    This article provides substantial coverage about Matchworld Cup. Cunard (talk) 04:17, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak keep - Cunard has noted a large number of sources above. Many of them are merely WP:ROUTINE match reporting which consensus indicates does not establish GNG as almost all leagues are covered in this way by some form f media outlet at some level. However, three of the first four (excluding the Armenian link) are substantial articles about the tournament and team preparation for it. The additional link provided just above also provides reasonably detailed coverage that goes beyond simple match reporting. As they come from different countries as well I am satisfied there is a degree of coverage beyond the routine of this tournament. Fenix down (talk) 08:48, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
