Bowling at the 2011 Pan American Games

 * – ( View AfD View log ) •

There will be a bowling tournament 11 months from now. Is this notable? I'm skeptical of STATS pages like this. Shadowjams (talk) 10:49, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep.  Hello, incase you have not noticed there is a really excellent source and this deletion thing should be removed immediatley!!!!!!, also its just the countries who have qualfied who are listed, not the athletes, which have a higher chance of withdrawing. Why is it that you want to delete specifically? I really dont understand the need here. *Frustrating*


 * Keep. Major international events have individual sport articles like this: Ice hockey at the 2010 Winter Olympics, Tennis at the 2010 Commonwealth Games, etc.  This event will happen, and it is part of a highly notable multinational sporting event.  Resolute 17:11, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep As mentioned by Resolute, Major international events have their own articles for each sport. -DJSasso (talk) 18:29, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Note: There's no need to rush to create these articles a year ahead of time. Shadowjams (talk) 21:56, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
 * It's not a rush. The lead up to these sorts of events before the final competition happens has already begun with qualifications and the like, those are just as much part of the competition as the final events at the games themselves. -DJSasso (talk) 22:58, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

@Shadowjams then why is a majority of the 2012 Summer Olympics articles created? You just do not make any sense. Password1125 (talk) 22:15, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per past precedent. Not wanting to go down this slippery slope today. Vodello (talk) 02:25, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. If there are already sources, particularly if there are already qualifying tournaments or events that feed into the 2011 tournament, then we should probably keep this. The argument about the 2012 Summer Olympic events has no meaning here - we're not talking about those articles, we're talking about this one. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 19:33, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
