The junior qualifying sections to the Grand Slam tennis tournaments do not pass WP:GNG. A WP:BEFORE search only found significant coverage for the adult qualifying tournaments or the junior main draws, neither of which are being nominated here. WP:NTENNIS doesn't apply either as neither the participants nor the qualifiers pass NTENNIS (winning the overall title is required for that). Iffy★Chat -- 09:45, 15 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Note: I'm only nominating the most recent junior slam qualifying draws today as any possible coverage that I may have missed would be recent, and thus easy to find. If this AFD results in a consensus to delete, I'll open another AFD for the remaining 24 qualifying articles in Category:Grand Slam (tennis) junior tournaments at a later time.

Certainly no stand alone article should be allowed here. No GNG at all. Usually, even on the main ATP Tour, qualification draws are placed at the bottom of the main draw article as opposed to a stand alone article. This is stated in the Tennis Project Guidelines. The minor league ATP Challenger Tour qualifications are not notable. Obviously the Grand Slam tournaments are a bit of an anomaly as to importance for everything that touches them, but Jr qualifying draws "at best" would be put at the bottom of the Jr draws, not as a separate entity. So delete or merge. Fyunck(click) (talk) 10:04, 15 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: It seems that the outcome of this AfD will have some further implications, thus relisting to get a stronger consensus.

Keep The tennis guidelines say "Do not create articles on qualification draws for smaller tournaments" (emphasis mine). The Grand Slams are the biggest tennis tournaments in the world. I'm fine with having qualification articles for Grand Slams. In any event, to merge it into the main articles as suggested in the guidelines for lesser tournaments is impractical here due to the size. Smartyllama (talk) 22:17, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Just because they're related to the grand slams, it doesn't make them notable (WP:NOTINHERITED). Where's the coverage for these events specifically? I agree that merging is a bad idea as we don't list qualifying results for other tournaments not at the top level of tennis. Iffy★Chat -- 08:28, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
"Impractical"? The 2019 US Open – Boys' Singles article is tiny and could easily incorporate the qualifying at the bottom. Fyunck(click) (talk) 09:25, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into the 2019 US Open – Boys' Singles and 2019 US Open – Girls' Singles article. I think that this wouldn't be notable as a stand alone article so by merging it into it's parent article, their is still some use for these results instead of just deleting it outright.
