Sailing at the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics – Girls' Byte CII

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

All of these appear to be poorly referenced, non-notable events (the links are dead, by the way) and their content seem nothing more than series of templates containing collections of details and/or trivia. I propose that whatever salvageable material there be, if there are any left, be merged into the main article, Sailing at the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics. :| TelCo NaSp  Ve :|  10:53, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep — the dead links are fixable, I was planning to go around to fix them. As individual events at an International Olympic Committee-banner Olympic Games, these events are certainly not "non-notable". I'm going to have to be guilty on WP:OTHERSTUFF here, but there are articles just like these (as in, almost empty but for results and dead links) for senior Olympics too. There has also been a prior deletion discussions on Youth Olympics events, which closed as keep: Articles for deletion/Canoeing at the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics – Girls' K1 slalom. There are plenty, and I mean plenty, of articles out there on far less notable sporting events with even less prose and only results. This is not the proper route to go down for Olympics-related articles. WT:OLY or Talk:2010 Summer Youth Olympics would have been a better starting point.

 * Keep all per NSPORT which states: "Events at individual Summer or Winter, Olympic or Paralympic Games are considered notable, e.g. Cycling at the 2008 Summer Olympics – Men's road race or Skeleton at the 2010 Winter Olympics – Women's" The Youth Olympics is the internationally recognised version for youngsters. Also, all the competetors are notable, per WP:ATHLETE. Just because they're red-linked, doesn't mean they're not notable.  Lugnuts  (talk) 17:37, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment I know it is very unimpressing as an argument, but I didn't see any coverage of this youth olympics in the press when it happened. To compare it with a "real" olympic event seems far-fetched to me. The articles about this youth-olympic could have been deleted en masse IMHO, it lacked impact. But hey, I'm just commenting- not !voting here. Greswik (talk) 18:53, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
 * No coverage? Your personal opinion on the notability aside, it's been widely covered by RS and it seems disingenuous of you to say this is not a "real" Olympic event when the IOC themselves have referred to this as the Olympics for youngsters. StrPby (talk) 08:38, 21 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep, with the explicit understanding that this does NOT mean that the individual athletes are notable. I'd ve willing to perhaps accept that the winner of each event might be, but nothing further. If the consensus here is that they all are, we're going to need a group discussion  about youths in all sorts of activities--for example, debaters.  DGG ( talk ) 23:39, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
