As well as these reliable independent sources there are multiple ABC Radio National Programs about this competition. There are also many other substantial references on independent school websites and educational networks such as the Philosophy Foundation and SAPARE in the UK, FAPSA, APIS and VAPS in Australasia. These are independent networks of teachers in the UK Sydney59 (talk) 06:12, 15 November 2015 (UTC) and each Australian state. Some but not all are included in the reference section on the Philosothon article. More can be added if necessary.

 * Speedy keep. Silly nomination. Notability is not an issue and there is no evidence of promotional material provided by Duffbeerforme ....and if this were the case the article could be improved. Why would you delete. Sydney59 (talk) 23:26, 18 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete No notability, reads like and advertisement, and almost looks to be pushing an agenda. As observed, Wikipedia is not a means of promotion. TomStar81 (Talk) 07:09, 19 November 2015 (UTC)
