Macedonia at the 2013 Summer Universiade

 * – ( View AfD View log )

enormous amount of red links, not a notable attendance event whatsoever  — dylx (talk) (contribs) 15:59, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep: The event per se is notable. That Macedonia competed is notable, though I would wish for better referencing. The quantity of red links ought not to be a deletion rationale for an inherently notable attendance at an inherently notable event (no, I am not claiming inherited notability). The article needs attention, that is without argument, and the athletes concerned ought to have articles where they pass our threshold. Fiddle   Faddle  16:43, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Fair points, you've convinced me. I looked at a similar article (Japan at the 2013 Summer Universiade) and noticed that the Macedonia page was lacking a lot of information which the Japan page had. Could the Macedonia page be merged into a page with more information?  — dylx (talk) (contribs) 18:42, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
 * @Dylxpedia I think that custom and practice is for the attending nations to have an article per attendance, even if they did not emerge clothed in glory. For me this holds true even if the article is as naked as this one. Are you considering withdrawing your nomination?   Fiddle   Faddle  18:46, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Actually, I've changed my mind again. See 2013 Summer Universiade. Many of the participants (many of which have more athletes and won more medals than than Macedonia) do not have their own articles for this specific event.

 * Comment - enormous amount of red links cannot be a criteria for deletion? Riteboke (talk) 07:38, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete fails WP:GNG. I would suggest merging this if a) it can be reliably sourced and b) we can identify a place to merge. SportingFlyer  T · C  20:01, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete: there simply isn't enough content to warrant an article here. At what point do we say "well we've got Category:Great Britain at the Summer Olympics by year crossing over with Category:Nations at the 2012 Summer Olympics, therefore we should have Great Britain at the 2012 Summer Olympics in Underwater Basket Weaving.  It becomes a content fork which smacks of IRL cruft.    SITH   (talk)   01:31, 8 May 2021 (UTC)
