1988 Nabisco Championship

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Yearly edition of a non-major golf championships. Only a few non-majors, WGC events & Players Championship are, have been deemed notable enough for yearly articles. This tournament has been around 1987 and no yearly articles exist other than this. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 14:10, 16 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete Same issues as recent 1997 Sprint International discussion. See WikiProject Golf/Assessment ("This type of page is restricted to the Major Championships (Men and Women), WGC events and a few of the most important other tournaments"). Nigej (talk) 07:13, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep Tour Championship must fall under the "a few of the most important other tournaments" heading. --Harthacnut (talk) 11:05, 22 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment The 2016 non-Majors/WGC list is currently: 2016 Players Championship, 2016 BMW PGA Championship, 2016 FedEx Cup Playoffs, 2016 CME Group Tour Championship plus the Olympics (Golf at the 2016 Summer Olympics – Men's individual, Golf at the 2016 Summer Olympics – Women's individual). Also worth noting that the FedEx Cup Playoffs pages include the results of the last 10 Tour Championships (2007 to 2016) already. The other issue is whether we need more red-links for tournament pages, unless there is some prospect of filling them in. Even the Players Championship has only 19 pages out of 43.

 * Comment Is that list actually defined somewhere or is it just your opinion? Also that there might be red links is IMO not a good argument. --Harthacnut (talk) 18:55, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Reply The list is at list of Events-related deletion discussions. I wrote this section, but it was based on the accepted (by regular WP:GOLF contributors) list that's evolved over time. Regular WP:GOLF contributors have tended to try to keep the list short but it's expanded a little over the years. The BMW PGA Championship was added a few years ago (as I remember) following a similar debate. With over 300 Professional tournaments each year around the world, over a 100 years of golf to cover and little effort available, it's clear that a limit needs to set somewhere. Interesting information about a particular tournament can easily be added to the tournament page (eg Tour Championship) without creating new articles. I'm actually a fan of red links, especially to golfers, since they help in the creation of new biographies, but link to missing tournaments don't help in this regard.

 * Keep The Tour Championship clearly qualifies as one of the most important other tournaments. Smartyllama (talk) 12:48, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
