Saint Andrews World Golf Festival

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Evidence found indicates that this article was created to promote an event that never actually happened according to a post by new Wikipedian Borismcdoris to the Teahouse. A check of the references shows that all of them refer to a future festival. I found no reliable source to show that the subject actually occurred, much less that it might be notable enough for an article. It fails both general notability guidelines and event notability guidelines. Current list of events in St Andrews does not mention this. This article's author, Wikiworldgolf (talk) (Cont), is an SPA who created and edited only this article. DocTree (ʞlɐʇ·ʇuoɔ) Join WER 00:15, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete No significant coverage in reliable, independent sources. I suspect an element of a hoax here.  Cullen 328  Let's discuss it  05:21, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment: Not a hoax I think. Here is an article from The Scotsman in March 2012 which carries a bullet point at the end, pointing to this event's website. AllyD (talk) 07:16, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete: At the least, this article would need surgery to remove promotional material. But in the absence of evidence of substantial coverage, notability is not established. AllyD (talk) 07:23, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete -- The event happened, but it merely seems to have been one event. I cannot quite work out why the long list of biographies appears.  The whole thin g has the feel of an ADVERT.  Peterkingiron (talk) 14:58, 22 March 2014 (UTC)
