1953 Fukuoka marathon

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The event is non-notable, and the article only has one source; which is unreliable. In Memoriam A.H.H. What, you egg?. 17:05, 2 July 2018 (UTC)

 * Comment. Perhaps Japanese-language references exist for this event. I am reluctant to delete pre-Internet events purely for lacking good references when good references might be hiding on a reel of microfilmed newspapers somewhere. If the Fukuoka marathon is or was a notable annual event, the 1953 one might be notable on that basis. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 07:04, 10 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment the Fukuoka Marathon as a whole is definitely notable, but I don't know whether or not individual years get enough coverage beyond the WP:ROUTINE to make them into anything more than stats dumps. (Also worth noting, in 1953 it was still called the Kanaguri Asahi Marathon). Only source I can find a reference to online is a newspaper article from that year which was included in a book that compiles old news articles.

 * Redirect – To Fukuoka Marathon already covered there. ShoesssS Talk 19:01, 10 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Fukuoka Marathon - the only content is the top-10 results, which doesn't justify an article (or inclusion in Fukuoka Marathon either). power~enwiki ( π, ν ) 02:48, 12 July 2018 (UTC)
