Gillette Cup New Zealand Secondary Schools Cricket

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non-notable cricket tournament. It doesn't have historical significance having only been set up in 1990, besides which it is only schools cricket. A search for reliable sources doesn't seem to bring up much. Overall I think it fails WP:GNG. AssociateAffiliate (talk) 21:48, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment. This search might well be fruitful, but I don't have the time at the moment to check through the results. Phil Bridger (talk) 19:50, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep On the following basis:
 * these articles about celebrating the cup's 20th anniversary.
 * Quotes directly about the notability of Gillette Cup such as, "More than 60 players who have made the finals (at the Gillette Cup) have gone on to play first-class cricket, with 14 eventually playing for the Black Caps." or, "The Gillette Cup provides so much opportunity for schools to be involved.", or that teams as referred to as "Gillette Cup Holders".
 * All of these findings seem to suggest that winning the cup is a high honor for, not just a local award. Thanks to Phil Bridger for providing that search.  I, Jethrobot drop me a line (note: not a bot!) 17:58, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

It is a significant national tournament (as above), equivalent to the Maadi Cup. Information is here http://www.blackcaps.co.nz/content/grassroots/tournaments/gillette-cup/gillette-cup-history.aspx if verification is a concern. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.126.195.100 (talk) 23:24, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
