South American Volleyball Championship

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Nominating this as well as the articles specific to young men's competitions, girls competitions and all 41 year specific articles in Template:South America Volleyball Championship. None of these articles have significant claims of notability nor are they referenced with reliable sources. Those few that do have references are to primary sources or self-published blogs.

 * Delete the years article but keep the main article, very little information is provided in the specific article per year, but the main article is important enough. Brazil, Argentina are powerhouses in Volleyball world. No reason they regional competition should be deleted. Should European Volleyball Championship be deleted too? --Threeohsix (talk) 21:08, 11 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep This is the main national teams competition in South America as well as other tournaments of this level such as European or Asian Championships. The lack of sources on some articles for years is a valid reason, but several pages listed are referenced such as 2011 Women's South American Volleyball Championship, 2013 Women's South American Volleyball Championship or 2013 Men's South American Volleyball Championship. The analysis should have been done individually. Jonas kam (talk) 22:15, 12 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Comment The reliability of those references is not clear. Several are primary sources and the rest appear to be blogs. RadioFan (talk) 03:09, 14 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Comment In the three articles mentioned above as an example the sources are from the South American Volleyball Confederation, the Brazilian Volleyball Confederation websites and others. Therefore each article must be individually evaluated. Jonas kam (talk) 04:50, 14 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep We are talking about the highest level events for every confederation in volleyball, these are qualifiers to world championships, world cups and are 10% of the World Ranking, that should list them as notable. I also agree that every article should be reviewed individually for references. If not, why not delete all continental championships? -- ShadowMkf  Talk  17:46, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
