Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pan American Junior 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 Keep main, merge/redirect others. Keep the main article, merge the 2 year articles into the main. Several of the keep votes present no valid reasons for keeping, but the delete votes aren't all that much stronger. The clearest result I can see is that there probably is an underlying, notable topic, but that there isn't necessarily enough for breakout articles on each year. As such, I'm going to redirect the year articles to the main article, and anyone who is interested can use the info in the history to merge the relevant (and sourced) bits to the main article Qwyrxian (talk) 23:55, 11 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Pan American Junior Championship

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This is junior field hockey tournament only. Only two articles about two editions are exist. Article aboud same-level competitions in other continents (such as EuroHockey Junior Nations Championship, Junior Africa Cup for Nations...) are extinct. Their qualities are very bad (they have little references, too many red links). These articles should be deleted speedy. Banhtrung1 (talk) 08:01, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Fail to see why it meets notability. Plus no referenced information for any of the information provided. Caffeyw (talk) 07:40, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Little references doesn't mean it is not notable, no references also can't treat as not notable. --Aleen f1 16:38, 16 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Other confederations' tournaments are not extinct, they were not created yet. Why would be delete an article just because complimentary articles haven't been created yet? Articles are created gradually, if we eliminate the first ones of a specific subject then that subject mught not be ever developed. --M&m89 (talk) 15:56, 16 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment – The reasons to delete those articles are rubbish, it is a good start. If same level of competitions in other continents not exist, doesn't mean you can't create it. Speedy keep --Aleen f1 16:38, 16 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and redirect all into Pan American Junior Championship (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) There seems to be enough lasting coverage for a general article on this event. Technical 13 (talk) 17:53, 8 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. No real reason given why to delete. I get 4 hits on google news for "Pan American Junior Championship" among recent items. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kiruning (talk • contribs) 03:53, 11 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
