2011 BMW PGA Championship

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Doesn't meet the criteria for a standalone article per WP:GOLF. Isn't a Major Championship or one of the small group of other events where a yearly tournament merits its own article. ...William 17:34, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
 * The BMW PGA Championship is the PGA European Tour home's tournament, is often regarded as the Flagship Event of the European Tour and each tournament generates a huge amount of coverage in European media. It attracts a strong field and usually has the highest prize money of any regular event which the tour organises. --StephanQz (talk) 09:55, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment. It's not clear (at least to me) after reading WP:GOLF where it explicitly states which tournaments warrant yearly articles and which ones do not. Neither does WP:NGOLF provide any clarity as it pertains only to players. The BMW PGA Championship is the European Tour's "flagship event" in terms of points offered towards the Official World Golf Ranking, and certainly enough coverage exists to pass WP:GNG. Further, individual Players Championship articles were kept at a recent AfD, which supports the possibility of yearly tournament articles beyond the majors. But then, where is the cutoff? Can someone point me to any previous discussions on the subject?  Gongshow  Talk 20:50, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep. Obviously, I defer to consensus, but it's unclear what consensus exists as to which tournaments get annual articles and which do not. Such a discussion, as noted by Gongshow above, would be worthwhile. But in the interim, I'm looking at the merits - and here I see good sourcing and likely notability. We can always merge later on if consensus tightens the rules - but until then, I think this one warrants a Keep. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 19:54, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
