International Student Badminton Tournament

I tried to find reliable sources about this tournament, but couldn't find any. The current sources are all primary sources and this seems to be a non notable tournament. zoglophie 18:17, 17 March 2023 (UTC)

 * - Here is a mention by the Irish Independent (national newspaper): https://www.independent.ie/regionals/droghedaindependent/sport/other-sports/new-open-event-for-badminton-27129347.html
 * - A more concrete article by Chronicle Live (regional newspaper), although admittedly it's old: https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/other-sport/great-entry-student-tourney-1613830
 * - Another one by the Northern Echo (regional newspaper): https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/6994904.city-hosts-badminton-tournament/
 * - There is also an archived version of a Badminton Ireland (the governing body for badminton in Ireland) page in the external links section of the article but here it as well, although it's also old: https://archive.today/20130117133028/http://www.badmintonireland.com/page/22209/ISBT-2012--Information
 * Other than that it seems most of the mentions are by the universities hosting it;
 * University of Twente - https://www.diok.utwente.nl/isbt/
 * TU Delft - https://unitedshuttles.nl/en/tournament-reports/international-student-badminton-tournament-isbt/
 * Utrecht University - https://sbhelios.nl/p/13/ISBT%20Utrecht
 * Maynooth University - https://mulife.ie/club/badminton/events
 * University of Limerick - https://ulwolves.ie/club/badminton
 * Imperial College London - https://www.imperialcollegeunion.org/activities/a-to-z/badminton-icsm
 * IT Sligo - https://www.itsligo.ie/silver-for-it-sligo-at-international-student-badminton-tournament/
 * I gave up search for others at this point, but there are probably other universities who mention it.
 * The sources are sparse, but I think they're enough to merit the page staying up, particularly since the tournament is still running. Adangis (talk) 12:32, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete - not enough in-depth coverage to pass WP:GNG. Onel 5969  TT me 19:41, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Delete: Fails GNG, EVENT, NSPORTS. Unsourced. I looked at the above sources and found:
 * Strike all the university pages above, they are involved, promo, stats, not IS RS with SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth.
 * Badminton Ireland source is stats, database style page with information supplied by University of Limerick. Not IS RS with SIGCOV
 * Adangis is correct when they call this a mention, it is not SIGCOV, it is a single sentence mention in an article about a completely different event.
 * is the most substantial, but it is promo.
 * stats, database style page with information supplied by University of Limerick. Not IS RS with SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth.
 * is an event registration page.
 * Nothing above is IS RS with SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth. It doesn't matter how many database entries, promo articles, and sources from participants are found in a google search, it will not show notability, only IS RS with SIGCOV will show notability.  // Timothy :: talk  18:38, 28 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Delete fails WP:SPORTSEVENT based on Timothy's excellent analysis above. LibStar (talk) 01:26, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete. On my own independent review and analysis, I don’t see this article subject meeting WP:SPORTSEVENT, WP:NSPORTS, WP:EVENT, and WP:GNG. Shawn Teller (he/her) (talk) 04:09, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
