Challenged for references since 2009. No hits on Google News or Google Books. GNews archives show several mentions of CUSA basketball games but that's it. -- Lenticel ( talk ) 03:23, 24 September 2023 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read!

 * Keep. AFAIK CUSA closed shop already. CUSA opening ceremonies were standard fare in newspaper sports page back in the day. NCAA Season 99 opens today and UAAP Season 86 next week; unless we're not neutral and Wikipedia is only for rich kids' leagues (larong mayaman), then this should be kept. Philippine Daily Inquirer in 2000, 2002, Manila Standard in 1999 and 1996. All of these in Google Books and Newspaper archive. Howard the Duck (talk) 03:39, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
 * If this is a legitimately encyclopedic topic, it should be easy to find in-depth coverage in multiple reliable sources, which includes sources published in the Philippines in languages other than English. So, where is the sourcing? Not saying there's not any, but a "keep" rationale that just alleges that newspaper sources exist isn't going to convince anyone.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  04:48, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
 * 90% of the WP:RS in the Philippines are in English, at least those found on the internet. Google Books search hits are plentiful. This one of the league opening in 2002 is pretty in depth. Howard the Duck (talk) 05:14, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
