Another user added the AFD template to the main article (Skippers' meeting) but did not create the AFD page; I have procedurally created that page to allow the discussion to move forward. Note that this article has no sources and was recently tagged as a hoax. IntoThinAir (formerly Everymorning) talk 22:13, 17 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Note: the user who added the AfD template created a discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for Deletion/Skippers' Meeting, with a slightly wrong capitalisation. I've closed that as a procedural close. --bonadea contributions talk 10:30, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The subject does indeed exist. Upon doing a web search on Google, I found multiple entries about it. Still, I don’t believe it is notable enough for Wikipedia. The article's text is also awkward and contains many red links. Torrent01 (is cool) (talk) 00:26, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Note: Anyone reading this AFD may want to direct their attention to another longstanding, unsourced article about a similar subject: Race committee. This one also definitely needs a lot of work. IntoThinAir (formerly Everymorning) talk 00:37, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The two articles are created by the same user, Infinoid. Another article this user created is Flying Dutchman (dinghy). Torrent01 (is cool) (talk) 17:57, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Merge with regatta - this article now has a tag saying it is not a hoax, but is probably not notable enough for a standalone article. Vorbee (talk) 06:45, 25 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with Regatta - regardless of sourcing, this would be an unneeded CONTENTFORK and could actually add worthwhile content, thus a merge preferable to a redirect. Nosebagbear (talk) 21:53, 31 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
