Jeopardy! Ultimate Tournament of Champions

Special event one-time tournament episodes of a game show. While Jeopardy! is a widely notable television show and part of pop culture, a largely unreferenced article about a single 75-episode tournament held once during a series of 8,000+ episodes does not meet WP:N. Subject is adequately covered in List of Jeopardy! tournaments and events.

Google search produces links back to this article and other Jeopardy!/game show fandom wikis. News search produces results for Ken Jennings and one link about Watson (computer), but no sources applicable to this specific tournament broadcast.

Of the 16 footnotes in the article, 12 are comments within article content about either contestants who didn't make it to Final Jeopardy or why specific contestants were given a bye in the tournament and are not WP:V references to external content. The remaining four references do not meet WP:SIGCOV:
 * 1) Jeopardy! Seeking Tournament of Champions Alumni is a dead link
 * 2) The Complete Directory to Prime Time Network and Cable TV Shows, 1946-Present is note about $2m top prize for tournament
 * 3) Jennings has no regrets despite 2nd-place finish is an interview with the second-place finisher
 * 4) Link to Game Show News Net is a fansite and does not meet WP:V

Result of first deletion discussion was no consensus for deleting but option to merge. Second deletion discussion was withdrawn. AldezD (talk) 14:02, 20 October 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Given that the result of the first deletion discussion was keep and the second nomination was withdrawn as a speedy keep, further discussion is needed to establish consensus for any action on a longtime article which has twice been discussed and found to be kept at AfD.
 * Redirect and protect. What little verifiable content there is can be mentioned on Jeopardy! which is already an extensive GA-class article, or in the articles of the individual participants. The results and byplay of the tournament are not encyclopedic content that was discussed extensively in third-party sources.

 * Redirect to List of Jeopardy! tournaments and events per the nominator per WP:FORK and WP:FANCRUFT. There's no need for this elaborate coverage of the topic, which is detailed to the level of fan cruft. The topic is already adequately covered in the List of Jeopardy! tournaments and events.4meter4 (talk) 16:04, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
