Half-Pipe Hustle

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Does not demonstrate independent notability from FIRST Tech Challenge. All sources are affiliated with the organization that ran the event, or routine coverage of the event - failing the general notability guideline or the guideline for events. Appable (talk) 03:30, 21 November 2016 (UTC)

Because there are many articles on the same annual competitions that also have only affiliated or routine sources, and therefore the outcome for their deletion would be closely related to the outcome for the first article, I am also nominating the following articles for deletion:

Finally, as a disclosure, I have participated in some of these FIRST Tech Challenge events in the past. Appable (talk) 03:37, 21 November 2016 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep I'd argue that these could be treated as WP:NSEASONS, but they'd need to list podiums. Did VEX/Tech challenge actually do placed winners, or was that only FRC? '''- Je rg li ng ''' PC Load Letter 18:48, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
 * There are placed winners for FTC during the world championships - those could be included in the article, though I do not believe that this would satisfy current notability policies.
 * I hadn't thought about NSEASONS, actually. However, upon reviewing the guideline, I believe that these articles do not satisfy the criteria. This can be shown by surveying the articles listed in this nomination - the seasons certainly do not currently contain "well-sourced prose", and there aren't any available third-party and non-trivial sources that discuss an individual season or team participating in FIRST Tech Challenge. Thus, this falls under the NSEASONS statement that articles should "be redirected to the team page if no sourced prose can be created." Appable (talk) 21:14, 21 November 2016 (UTC)

 * weak keep at least some of these have coverage in reliable sources. Others are difficult to search for given the name is pretty common.  But articles like  are pretty common (There are about 21 such sources over a wide geographic area including Europe).Hobit (talk) 02:57, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
