Gibraltar at the 2011 Commonwealth Youth Games

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The unremarkable results of a very small country at not very notable youth games (for ages 14-18). No reliable independent sources. Probably some old report can be found in a local newspaper, just like can be found for youth soccer games, local tennis tournaments, ... but nothing beyond routine coverage probably (I couldn't even find that much online, but not everything is online of course).

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Redirect the lot to 2011 Commonwealth Youth Games without merging. These don't now evidence notability presently and it would be difficult without research above and beyond the expectations of WP:BEFORE to evidence it in the future. One might also redirect to the various "country at the CYG" articles that apparently exist; if that's preferable to others, I have no issue. --Izno (talk) 15:32, 11 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete all. This is not a major competition and garners very little coverage. It does not justify exhaustive listing of results in every event. If redirected, we would just be left with a bunch of useless redirects that nobody would have created if these articles had never existed. --Michig (talk) 12:12, 15 September 2017 (UTC)


 * Comment I cant help but feel we are being 'racist' against small countries here, either none of the countries should have these articles, or all of the countries should, otherwise we are discriminating, since this type of article doesn't gain extra notability from the medals or the competitors, I fail to see the point of any of them. Take Australia at the 2011 Commonwealth Youth Games for example, it hardly improves the topic. &Alpha; Guy into Books &trade;  &sect; ( Message ) -  13:22, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect all to the main article.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 09:45, 16 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect all to the main article, and by that I mean all countries, not just these "small" ones. Lankiveil (speak to me) 01:22, 23 September 2017 (UTC).
