Although the Singapore Youth Festival is notable, I cannot see how a list of the results of particular competitions within the festival is notable in any way. NawlinWiki (talk) 19:51, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Adding Singapore Youth Festival Central Judging results for Chinese orchestra to this AFD as well. NawlinWiki (talk) 19:53, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Do you mean Singapore Youth Festival Central Judging results for display/marching bands? All that is showing up on the AfD page is marching bands. It doesn't seem that AfD responds well to subpages. bd2412  T 19:56, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes. Trying to fix that now. Fixed by renaming the page.  NawlinWiki (talk) 19:57, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Strong keep. Besides being the author of the pages, allow me to just point out that a google search of "SYF Central Judging" alone produces 19,700 hits, without trying the various possible permutations. Not that it is the best way to assess notability, but it is inherently more difficult to cite notability for a list as compared to the main subject the list is contributing to. The Singapore Youth Festival is an annual national event in Singapore held since the 1960s, and the Central Judging segment for performing arts groups is just one part of it, but on its own, it already involves all schools from the primary to the pre-university level in the country involving thousands of people. And one of my motives for creating the page is partly due to the official site's tendency to remove their online results for older years, forcing people to check past results offline. My ultimate aim is to search for those older results in the national libraries and build up the lists accordingly for the benefit of thousands who otherwise do not have ready assess to such information. I was also partly inspired by lists such as this.--Huaiwei (talk) 20:33, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment - Nice work on the page. A couple of those thousands of Google hits turned into footnoted sources here would go far in demonstrating notability. Speaking for myself, I have no strong worries about the piece as it sits, but sourcing would be nice. Carrite (talk) 02:38, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete. This page violates WP:NOT, and is on a non-notable topic; winners of some high school contest. Abductive  (reasoning) 03:36, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete Wikipedia is not a directory of everything that exists or has existed, and not an indiscriminate collection of information. The listing of winners of every youth competition in the world is outside the scope of what belongs in an encyclopedia, and contrary to the policy What Wikipedia is not.
