2022 FIBA Under 16 Women's Asian Championship

Article about a youth sports championship that has not received significant coverage and so does not satisfy general notability or sports notability. This is a continental youth championship, and youth championships have never had a presumption of notability even before the revision of the notability guidelines, so that only general notability applies. Review of the sources shows that the first one is not about the youth tournament, and the other sources are by FIBA, the international basketball association, and so are not independent or secondary. Two of the sources are about other events and one is a database entry. One of them is significant coverage, but is not independent or secondary. An article was created in article space, and was moved by reviewer User:UnitedStatesian to draft space. This copy of the article was then created in article space. Th ere is already a draft, and th is article does not satisfy general notability, so should be deleted. Robert McClenon (talk) 16:36, 25 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment - The draft has been redirected to this article, so the article can be either deleted or moved back to draft space. Robert McClenon (talk) 16:40, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I disagree on the term "does not satisfy general notability or sports notability" of this article. As you mentioned, this is a continental youth tournament, and please bear in mind that this is a main qualifier to the World Championship. It appears that since this is a women's tournament, it is being stereotyped as a lesser important tournament as compared to that of men's tournament. Hoping that my point is taken into consideration, and wishing that this article can be removed into Articles for deletion consideration, as more details with proper references are being added.

 * Dear @Alexander marshall 07 I hope you also address the question on your talk page about the title of this article. Regpath (talk) 00:27, 26 June 2022 (UTC)
 * @Regpath
 * You already modified the first sentence of this article to FIBA U16 Women's Asian Championship so I think your question is now irrelevant. If you will notice the previous editions, I am just following the traditional format and nobody reacted like this until now. If this will be the case, all other tournaments in every continent including the previous edition must be nominated for deletion as well (echoing the comments from @Hariboneagle927).

 * Draftify until more secondary/independent sources showing significant coverage are added. XtraJovial (talk • contribs) 20:13, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment then the 2022 FIBA U16 Women's European Championship, even the previous editions (for every continent as well) should be nominated as well.Hariboneagle927 (talk) 04:26, 26 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Strong Oppose Hell no. Who proposed this deletion? What is their intention? Basketball is a global sport, this tournament is the seventh edition of an age group continental championship in Asia. How many continents do we have in this world? How many sports receive wider audience than basketball on this planet? Not significant enough for an article? What a joke. 2001:8003:9008:1301:754B:EFE0:D55D:9F7D (talk) 14:56, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

Relisting comment: Consensus seems divdied between Keep and Draftify. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 04:25, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep There seems to be ample coverage on the championships found online Alvaldi (talk) 19:29, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep Notable sports tournament, and per the sources found by Alvaldi. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 02:04, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep. Continental, age-group, gender-specific tournaments involving teams representing nations are notable as evidenced by finding of sources. It does seem that WP:BEFORE was done, but before the actual tournament ended; I would've suggested for AFDs for events such as this to be done after the fact, as it's difficult to WP:CRYSTAL coverage and WP:RS. Howard the Duck (talk) 21:50, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep - Disagree with the notability issues since its a continental championship. The page seems to also be cited with official websites and the numbers are accurate. The maximum action that should be taken is probably adding a 'more citations needed' template. Prodrummer619 (talk) 15:23, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
