Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/St. Michael's Debate Championship


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was   redirect to St. Michael's Convent School. There is no evidence of the independent reliable sources necessary for this to satisfy the general notability guideline, and arguments of WP:ITSNOTABLE and WP:LOCALFAME are not valid in deletion discussions. We can mention the subject in the main school article, however. — Mr. Stradivarius  (have a chat) 01:08, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

Article about a debating championship that does not, as yet, seem to have gained notability. Current sourcing is primary. Directly available sources on Google, GNews, et cetera, are all primary or Facebook. BenTels (talk) 13:13, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Hadn't even noticed before: there is an undeclared WP:COI since the author of the article is also a founder of the championship. Not a huge problem, though. -- BenTels (talk) 13:17, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

Keep the article. St. Michael's Debate Championship is one of three grand parliamentary debating events in Karachi. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 116.71.57.29 (talk) 14:04, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment: Perhaps... but it still needs sourcing. -- BenTels (talk) 15:44, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

Redirect to St. Michael's Convent School; probably useful information, but doesn't seem to have enough sourcing to establish notability. Zujua (talk) 00:54, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

Keep The event is one of three grand debating events in Karachi. I know, I am the founder, but the event is quite notable; refrences to it are available on websites of the institutions that have had participated, as highlights of their co-curricular activities. I will find and add neutral sources. IMHO this article does qualify to be on Wikipedia, and that's the reason why I wrote it. I am not promoting the event in any way, its just an informative page about this event. I would be creating the articles about the other two in some time.

 * Delete I have to agree with the nominator in this case. This is a school-level competition with no evidence of how it is notable at the national level. It should be redirected to (and discussed at) St. Michael's Convent School, which is the main school article.  Mar4d  ( talk ) 08:05, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
