Equatorial Guinea at the 2009 Lusophony Games

Country-by-year participations at the Lusophony Games are not notable, as it is not a major multi-sport event. 103.6.159.82 (talk) 09:33, 30 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Also nominating these ones. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 23:00, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete All of the above as they are not notable. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 23:00, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete For new events like the Lusophony Games, the best use to the reader seems to be fewer, focused articles rather than sprawling linked-to articles that become more like a directory than a coherent article. I did searches on four of these (Angola, Mozambique, Sao Tome, and Equatorial Guinea) in Lexis, Proquest, and Newsbank and can't make a case for any coverage transcending WP:Routine and couldn't find any. Delete is warranted in terms of 1. GNG coverage standard and 2. Best help to readers/editors. AbstractIllusions (talk) 13:39, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Note I think notable info should be moved to the main pages, like for instance the names of the medal winning football team of Angola at the 2006 Lusophony Games to Football at the 2006 Lusophony Games and Futsal at the 2006 Lusophony Games.
