Andorra at the 2011 World Championships in Athletics

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Permanently a substub article to say "Andorra did not compete at the event". PROD contested. Stifle (talk) 13:03, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete but only just, I'm tempted to !vote Keep just becuase it's so ridiculous. However, we have enough trouble deciding which things that happened are notable, if we start creating articles on things which specifically didn't happen, AfD will probably reach critical mass and implode. For the same reason that we don't need an article on Andorra's non-existent lunar mission, we don't need an article on this. Yunshui (talk) 13:51, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I Googled "Andorra's non-existant lunar mission" and only found 2 hits linking back to this AFD. Therefore I submit that insufficient reliable sources exist to prove Andorra doesn't have a space program and such an article is indeed unsuitable for creation.

 * Delete: He The country didn't compete in it and it doesn't say what he did do. This is a stupid article. SL93 (talk) 22:08, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Do you realise that Andorra is not a person? Phil Bridger (talk) 19:36, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I meant to type the country. I sometimes type the wrong thing on accident. I never looked back at the AfD to fix it until now. SL93 (talk) 20:26, 17 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete – Don't see a reason to have an article on a country's performance in an athletic event when they didn't participate in said event. Maybe if there were circumstances leading to a lack of participation (like the U.S. in the 1980 Summer Olympics), an article could be justified, but that isn't the case here.

 * Delete - surprisingly, the article does have a source which covers to some extent that Andorra would not participate. Xinhua also verfies the fact that they (and some other countries) didn't participate but that's really a passing mention.  I don't see that this lack of participation has generated the coverage necessary to justify an article. -- Whpq (talk) 16:32, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete as this non-participation was not due to noteworthy events and there's really nothing else that can be written, let alone verified. ŞůṜīΣĻ ¹98¹ Speak 20:20, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - nothing notable regarding the non-participation, unlike, say, United States at the 1980 Summer Olympics. GregorB (talk) 21:01, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
