Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Randhir Verma Under-19 cricket Championship

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. While the argument to keep has basis in policy, it has insufficient support. I would be happy to refund this to the userspace of anyone who wishes to develop this towards a merger. Vanamonde (talk) 19:20, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

non-notable, local youth-level tournament. Does not pass WP:GNG nor WP:NCRIC Spike 'em (talk) 12:00, 2 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:SIGCOV and WP:NSPORTS, the under 19 cricket tournament held throughout the State and recognised by the Board of Control for Cricket in India, has enough significant coverage in Mainstream Media houses like Telegraph [1]Dainik Jagran [2] [3][4] Hindustan (newspaper)[5] The regional languages are Hindi, Bhojpuri and Maithili language so most of the SIGCOV sources are in Hindi. The sources talk in detail about the structure of the tournament, schedules, players, officials and statistics related coverage for each and every match.--DBig Xrayᗙ 13:19, 2 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Fails to meet any of the requirements for notability detailed in WP:CRIN. Narky Blert (talk) 15:48, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

WP:CRIN as of now does not cover U19 cricket. It is being discussed in talkpage. U19 cricket is covered in Indian media, like Baseball is covered in US Category:Youth_baseball. Popularity of a sport may vary among different countries. --DBig Xrayᗙ 13:40, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

So, open a discussion at WP:CRIN, make a persuasive case, win the argument, and get the guideline changed.

Until that happens, this article fails NCRIN. End of. Narky Blert (talk) 22:00, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete We don't want or need article for every state level U-19 cricket tournament. Fails WP:GNG. Joseph2302 (talk) 18:24, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

AfDs are judged by existing policies such as WP:SIGCOV and WP:NSPORTS whether we want them or not is immaterial.--DBig Xrayᗙ 13:40, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Well we don't want them because they're not notable as per WP:GNG and WP:NSPORTS. That should have been really obvious from my previous comment. Joseph2302 (talk) 13:56, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - the community agreed consensus is that domestic under-19 tournaments are non-notable, unless such matches have first-class/List A/T20 status conferred on them; these do not. StickyWicket (talk) 15:28, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per all of the above. Local/regional U19 tournaments are just that and have been deemed to be non-notable in the past. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 09:02, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment in addition to my keep vote above, Just noting that Deletion is not recommended specially when WP:ATD exists such as merging to the Organising body Bihar Cricket Association per WP:PRESERVE --DBig Xrayᗙ 11:16, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

And a discussion related to WP:CRIN on allowing such articles is happening on Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Cricket#Extend_WP:CRIN_to_include_competitions where the consensus is to allow the popular events as WP:NSPORTS, WP:GNG and WP:ORG --DBig Xrayᗙ 11:20, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Irrelevant. An open discussion is not WP:POLICY, and is no reason to keep an article which fails to pass any notability guideline. Narky Blert (talk) 22:11, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Bihar Cricket Association per WP:ATD. The article fails WP:CRIN at present, but there's no reason at least some of the content can be merged to the article on the administrator. Tera TIX 04:50, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
