2010 National Scrabble Championship

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Unreferenced event with no claim of notability. PRODed with " The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing General notability guideline nor the more detailed Notability (events)'s supplement. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar.". PROD removed with copy-paste unhelpful rationale by User:Andrew Davidson. Let's discuss...

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: For further review of the sources presented.
 * Keep. I found a few sources. There are others, but I haven't gotten around to adding those in. Clarityfiend (talk) 04:03, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
 * , is a WP:INTERVIEW with the winner. So is, mostly.  is a mention in passing of the winner's score at a Yahoo's blog(?). Neither of the source is about the 2010 tournament, which is mentioned just in passing in the background, and as such the sources fail WP:SIGCOV. They'd be more relevant if we were discussing a biography of the winner (although they'd be rather poor for that purpose too).

 * As I stated before, I haven't gotten around to adding The Dallas Morning News, The South Florida Sun-Sentinel, and NJ.com, just sources for the winner. Clarityfiend (talk) 05:39, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Get your facts straight. The first one isn't an interview with the winner, but with sportswriter Stefan Fatsis, who also happened to be a competitor, so he's a secondary source, not a primary one. The second one is not "mostly" an interview, maybe 1/3 to 1/2 is quotes from the person in charge of the tournament, so again secondary. Clarityfiend (talk) 05:44, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete the identified sources are not nearly enough to lead to a passing of GNG.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:28, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. This 2010 edition and the 2009 National Scrabble Championship are the only two in the 1978–2019 National Scrabble Championship winners set that currently have articles. Both are barely stubs, have not expanded in 10+ years, and the core of its information is already found at North American Scrabble Championship.
