Everest (mathematical competition)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Unreferenced article on a generic maths competition recreated after deletion byt he same WP:SPA who created it. No claim of notability. Guy (Help!) 17:06, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - Unable to find any references to the competition on the web, but this may be due to language difficulties (the competition is in Georgia the country, not Georgia the US state). The translated linked website doesn't have any information on coverage of the contest, but does list results for only 2009 and 2010.  If no references are found to support the article, I would say Delete. Syrthiss (talk) 17:42, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
 * This article was NOT recreated after deletion. It was undeleted by me.  It was created by someone else. Michael Hardy (talk) 18:51, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Technically you are both correct. The new account created it on Nov 28, and it was speedied.  It was then recreated on Dec 2, speedied, and restored. Syrthiss (talk) 18:58, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
 * How can the account that created this be called a "single-purpose account" when it's only a few days old and has such a short edit history? Everyone's editing history contains edits on only one topic when it's brand-new. Michael Hardy (talk) 19:18, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. While I tend to agree that this didn't qualify for speedy deletion, I can find no evidence on Google News, Scholar or Books for notability of this recently-founded country-specific math competition. There is a corresponding article on the Georgian Wikipedia that Google Translate renders semi-intelligible to English speakers, but it lacks references (or indeed any external links). --Qwfp (talk) 19:20, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete in the absence of reliably-published third party sources that would lend notability to the subject. I agree that the speedy deletion was inappropriate, though. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:14, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment The nom says "No claim of notability", which is false. The first line of the article is "Everest is one of the most famous mathematical competitions in Georgia." —Mark Dominus (talk) 20:56, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete No evidence of notability. I tried looking at the Georgian version of the page for sources but no, then searching on the heading of that article in Georgian finds the WP page, the official site, some meta search engines and eventually blog entries. Nothing that looks like a reliable source.-- JohnBlackburne wordsdeeds 14:11, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep − I managed to find some sources first time. For example here and here . The latter says that 10,000 students are registered for the competition. — Fly by Night  ( talk )  23:51, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete – Upon reflection, the article seems to be a copyvio of that second reference. I'll tag it now. — Fly by Night  ( talk )  00:01, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
