Boycott of BNP Paribas Open by Venus and Serena Williams

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Delete per WP:SOAPBOX. Can get mentioned in these players' biography articles, but doesn't warrant a standalone article. MakeSense64 (talk) 16:05, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Week keep I think there are enough reliable sources to pass WP:GNG. Armbrust, B.Ed. Let's talk about about my edits? 18:26, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge to either Indian Wells Masters or Williams sisters. Currently, this boycott isn't even mentioned in either article, which causes me to question whether it warrants a stand-alone article. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 19:37, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment While there are sources for this incident, there are no reasons to give it a standalone article. We could make 1000s of sourced articles about player or team getting booed, racist incidents in matches, and other sports controversies. For example there was the 'Dubai controversy' with tennis player Shahar Pe'er. There would be enough sources to create a standalone article, but it is simply kept in the player's article, see Dubai controversy. Being booed is not inherently notable apart from the notability of the player being booed. MakeSense64 (talk) 09:11, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge as per Metropolitan90--Shakehandsman (talk) 05:14, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge - this info is pertinent enough to be condensed and entered on Serena's and Venus's wiki page...perhaps the Williams sisters article also. Stand alone... no. Fyunck(click) (talk) 05:59, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge This is not a separate encyclopedi entry as per common sense. Should we write entries such as 'Arnold Schwarznanegger's filminmg of Terminator'? Gimme a break. -WikiSkeptic (talk) 04:07, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
