Markstay Warren Challenge the Champ Sled-Dog Race

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Not verifiable, maybe not notable. No secondary sources given, no Google News hits. Nothing of consequence was found via Google web search. Prod was removed by author with an edit summary of "Independant sources: sleddogcentral.com, mushing.com, markstay-warren.com, isdra.com. Google News, no hits due to previous staff being computer illiterate. News on all Ontario TV stations, plus newspa" (and then the edit summary ran out of characters, I presume) - sleddogcentral.com has a table of 2007 results which serves to verify the competition's existence, but little more. No results for 2008 or 2009. Markstay-Warren.com has a barren external link without any information whatsoever beyond 2009 date and location. Mushing.com has some information that reads like press releases, not an independent source. On Isdra.com I found a few lines written by the organizer, nothing independent. Newspapers should probably have been found via Google News. Huon (talk) 22:31, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

 * 'Delete. Nothing to suggest notability- could well fail all three of the key content policies- WP:V, WP:N and WP:OR. If something can be found to verify more than the mere existence of this event, I wouldn't oppose a merge to a relevant article but I'm not holding my breath frankly.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.
