2009 Missouri Valley Conference Men's Soccer Tournament

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable sports season. Neither this article, the current season nor Missouri Valley Conference men's soccer tournament not have independent sources. Nothing obvious in google either. Stuartyeates (talk) 21:14, 7 July 2013 (UTC)
 * This article is one of a series of 23 reports about an annual tournament. The justification for deleting it seems to be, "This information seems not to be available anywhere else except in the Missouri Valley Conferences' own records, so it should not be available here, either." Sometimes the lack of additional sources is insufficient cause for saying, "This does not belong here." If such is the justification for deletion, then a huge percentage of the content of the Wikipedia is at least as worthy of deletion, and probably moreso. GWFrog (talk) 21:35, 7 July 2013 (UTC)
 * It's not so much that other information is unavailable, it's that it's available at a cost. I could cite newspaper reports, if I could afford to subscribe to any of several archival sites, but I can't afford it. Like GWFrog said, sometimes sometimes lack of independent sources isn't good enough reason to delete. Fredref123 (talk) 22:48, 7 July 2013 (UTC)

 * Ref cites have been found and added to this article... GWFrog (talk) 15:48, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
 * ...and it's still non-notable. GiantSnowman 10:34, 9 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete - there is no indication the article meets WP:GNG. Sir Sputnik (talk) 20:58, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment - this isn't the only tournament. There are tournaments before 2009 and after 2009 for this conference. Do they all lack general notability? --MicroX (talk) 22:27, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Without having looked at them in any detail, it's hard to say, but probably yes. Sir Sputnik (talk) 17:47, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
