Connacht Under-21 Hurling Championship

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This amateur, under-21-years-of-age, province-level, hurling championship lacks requisite multiple independent substantial RS coverage. Epeefleche (talk) 11:24, 17 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep Feeder competition of a national (in fact international) competition. Meagre sourced, but the mentioned sources are reliable and independent and not involved in organizing the Championship in question. Night of the Big Wind  talk  15:24, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
 * That's not true. GAAinfo.com is certainly not independent.  It is comprised of a group of Irish Gaelic footballers and a hurler.  Nor is it an RS.  And the pdf is not an RS either, and there is no indication that it is independent.


 * And WP:GNG requires significant coverage. "Significant coverage" means that sources address the subject directly in detail. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention.  We simply don't have significant coverage here.


 * Also, the significant coverage has to appear in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. "Reliable" means sources need editorial integrity to allow verifiable evaluation of notability, per the reliable source guideline.   These should be secondary sources.  We don't have any RSs here.


 * And "Independent of the subject" excludes works produced by those affiliated with the GAA. Works produced by the GAA, or those with a strong connection to it, do not meet our needs. We also have an independence problem here.


 * Finally, this is merely a purely amateur, 21-year-olds, province-level competition. Those are not presumed notable.  Even the national-level amateur 21-year-old competition might not be notable, but this one, junior to that, is certainly not in the absence of substantial independent RS coverage.--Epeefleche (talk) 15:58, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
 * If you had the tiniest clue about the dealings of the GAA, you should have known that the GAA is split in 4 provinces who act independently from each other. So Kilkenny, part of Munster GAA, has nothing to do with Connacht GAA. Night of the Big Wind  talk  22:07, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Let me say it this way: go on with destroying the efforts of many people. I'm sick of your witch hunt and I sacrifice this article to your destructive needs. Night of the Big Wind  talk  22:21, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
