 * Keep An important boys team event. While the current article only cites from the event organiser, there are plenty of other sources out there. eg from just one newspaper from just one year, 1984:   . Also this  from the Daily Telegraph. If we covered all newspapers in all European countries I'm sure we'd find plenty of coverage to demonstrate it's notability.

 * Keep History of the European Boys' Team Championship is an important part of the golf history. Pages concerning the event from the anniversary book of the Swedish Golf Federation (2004 - 100 years anniversary) page 200 - 201 http://www.e-magin.se/paper/1pfc350j/popup/1#/paper/1pfc350j/202 The organizing body European Golf Association (EGA) is acknowledged as the organizer of European championships and in cooperation with the R&A i St Andrews, Scotland. The European Amateur Team Championship for men, the European Lady's Team Championship for women, the European Boys' Team Championship for junior men and the European Girls Team Championship for Junior Girls have participation av all golfing countries in Europe, including the British Isles. With fast increasing standard of elite golf on the continent of Europe in recent years the importance of EGA events have increased comparing with the traditional events on the British Isles, like the Boys Home Internationals. The European Boys' Team Championship has replaced the European Youths' Team Championship, due to the lower age of elite golfers in recent years. Most of today's top professionals i Europe have played in these EGA boy's team championships, in recent years for example Jon Rahm, Matt Fitzpatrick, Renato Paratore, Guido Migliozzi, Rasmus Hojgaard, Thomas Pieters, Adrian Otaegui, Grant Forrest, Romain Langasque, Thomas Detry, Matthias Schwab. Just to mention a few. For the men's and women's events, there is an article for each year, for the boy's and girl's, there's only one article each covering the whole history of the events.

 * Interesting. Not an independant reliable source in sight!!. - Roxy the dog 17:59, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

 * It's the Junior Championship of a continent in a wide spread sport. And there is no world Junior Championship in golf, like there are in some other sports. Concerning the amateur status: among 18 year olds, there are very few professionals, so you can be sure these players are the best young players in Europe. What's the problem? Media specialized on golf are also independent and reliable. They are not connected to the organizer of the tournament. Regards, EEJB (talk) 21:55, 18 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Some reliable independent sources added. I will continue adding more. Regards, EEJB (talk) 09:33, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

 * Article improved as requested. Status of tournament explained. Every European winner of professional major championships since 2011 have participated and named in article. Position of championship among other EGA events appears at end of article. 42 sources mentioned, some of them independent reliable newspapers, many of them specialized media but authors independent from the organizer of the championship. This is one of 32 junior golf tournaments on Wikipedia, this one a championship of a continent covering 46 countries. Regards. EEJB (talk) 15:55, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
