Ghana International Competition

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This soccer tournament involved 4 matches which took place in November 2007. There are news articles such as this which confirm the event was to take place and this article which gives an alternative name of the "Zenith Bank 4-Nation International Tournament". The results of the matches appear to be correct per this page. However, the news articles all indicate that it was held as a warm-up for the 2008 Africa Cup of Nations that started two months later. The article is written as if the matches in 2007 were the first of what was to be a recurring tournament, but I can't find anything to say that the tournament was held again in later years. Given that its primary purpose was as practice matches, I believe it falls into the category of routine coverage and fails the general notability guidelines.

 * Delete I fail to see the notability of a one-off four-match tournament, especially given the lack of sources available – a quick Google search only turns up the Wikipedia article. WP:GNG definitely failed. — Jkudlick t c s 02:16, 28 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - no evidence of notability. GiantSnowman 17:05, 28 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - very little evidence to suggest that this is any more than a 'friendly tournament' or 'warm up tournament', fails WP:GNG Spiderone  18:10, 28 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - one off non-notable friendly tournament, no indication of GNG. Fenix down (talk) 09:53, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
