International Mathematical Olympiad Preliminary Selection Contest - Hong Kong
Non-notable lower-level competition. Seraphimblade 14:30, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. I cannot imagine why International Mathematical Olympiad would want this, and I do not see anywhere else to merge. Septentrionalis 02:48, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Unhelpful. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 08:46, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. On the article IMO selection process, there are also "regional" competitions for selecting IMO team members, like Vlaamse Wiskunde Olympiade in Flanders, Olympiade Math%C3%A9matique Belge in the French Community of Belgium and the Indian National Mathematics Olympiad in India. While these competitions deserves their own articles, I cannot see the point why International Mathematical Olympiad Preliminary Selection Contest - Hong Kong does not. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Splee (talk • contribs).
 * Comment I think these would be better deleted (or merged back into IMO selection process), but as it would be bad faith to add more articles to this discussion after votes have taken place here, I'd ask you to comment on why this particular subject is notable. "Someone else got to do it" is not a notability criterion. Seraphimblade 04:56, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment A lower level competition to the IMO, like this one, may be also a top-level competition in the region. For example, you may also notice that APMO (which is a regional international competition on its own) results are used to select final candidates in New Zealand. Moreover, with the query 國際數學奧林匹克香港選拔賽, its name as on the 國際數學奧林匹克香港選拔賽 Chiense Wikipedia article, it yields 4990 results on Google.com.hk. (my search) Therefore, I think it should be kept.

 * Delete. I was going to consider a merge, but all you need in the main article is a mention.  Vegaswikian 06:36, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
