Godalming International Tournament

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article restored following appeal at requests for deletion. As stands there is next to no attempt to establish notability, the references concern only the one off friendly that constituted the first tournament and seem more concerned with the appearance of a minor celebrity on one of the teams.

There are claims at the request for deletion that a slightly expanded tournament will take place this year but these come from the NFBoard blog rather than any formal announcement.

I'm not sure how this tournament could fulfill WP:GNG amidst a sea of small non fifa tournaments, this seems to be essentially an invitation tournament. I appreciate that most if not all non-fifa tournaments are invitational, but this tournament does not even attempt to seem all encompassing. Fenix down (talk) 17:11, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete - a bit of coverage about a "tournament" consisting of 2 teams happened at the time of the event. I see no enduring coverage to establish notability. -- Whpq (talk) 20:20, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete: As Fenix said, the tournament is still officially a 2-team affair with the sources stating that more teams will play next edition coming from a blog. Plus this article fails WP:GNG. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 21:56, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - no evidence of notability. GiantSnowman 15:25, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - this tournament does not pass the general notability guideline yet. It might do in the future, but we wouldn't know that. Mentoz86 (talk) 13:25, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
