While Jeopardy! is a widely notable television show and part of pop culture, an largely unreferenced article about a week-long tournament every/every-other season does not meet WP:N. Google search produces links back to this article, the production website and external Wiki fandom sites. Subject is adequately covered in List of Jeopardy! tournaments and events.

Of the 18 footnotes in the article, none meet WP:SIGCOV and most are local news stories featuring past contestants.

 * Redirect to List of Jeopardy! tournaments and events. Most of the sourcing is to routine coverage (e.g., "local teen X finishes in Yth place") and primary sources, and the list of contestants, which makes up an overwhelming portion of the article, is essentially listcruft. Adequately covered at the main article about Jeopardy! tournaments. -- Kinu t/c 20:10, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
