Dewar Trapshooting Trophy

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article sourced to a single local newspaper (not checked as subscription required). I’ve found one other passing ref to support this article. It The creating editor concludes the article concludes with the words ‘none of today's trapshooting historians have ever heard of the Dewar Live Bird Trophy’ so it does not seem notable to me.

 * I checked the newspaper given and confirmed that this is legitimate (i.e., not a hoax). I'll look to see if I can find anything else on this cup to see if it's notable. – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 05:49, 18 May 2019 (UTC) EDIT/Update: there are zero (0) newspaper records courtesy of newspapers.com of the phrase "Dewar trapshooting trophy" between 1900 and 1902, when it should have been most relevant, and quite a few matches to an unrelated event starting in 1909. As such, it should at least be renamed, though I will not oppose a delete. – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 05:53, 18 May 2019 (UTC) COMMENT: Also, "The trophy seems to have disappeared into obscurity as none of today's trapshooting historians have ever heard of the Dewar Live Bird Trophy." is not a good sign for notability, source or no source. – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 05:56, 18 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment. The Trapshooting Hall of Fame is given as an EL, but neither the Dewar trophy, not Webber are mentioned on the site. SpinningSpark 22:59, 18 May 2019 (UTC)
