 * Comment. Damn right the competition is notable. Not commenting on the list of winners though, as I don't have sufficient expertise in sports articles, but I'm guessing it'll be a delete. Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 05:48, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep The international Maccabiah Games, held for over 80 years, are indisputably notable. Accordingly, lists of their medalists in various sports are encyclopedic and no persuasive argument for deletion has been offered. Cullen328 (talk) 07:57, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep The Maccabiah Games are a large sporting event. I'm surprised the article on them is so poorly sourced.  I believe that article needs improvement, but the sources exist. Astudent0 (talk) 18:12, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
