Swimming at the 2014 South American Games – Women's 100 Meter Breaststroke

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is an article about a specific competition that occurred in an event that isn't very well known or notable outside of South America. The article is a quick summary of what the event is, and then the results, which can be found elsewhere and don't belong in an encyclopedia. Also, no pages link to it ouside of one redirect I made to fix the title. Beasting123 (talk) 13:43, 1 September 2018 (UTC)

 * Speedy keep, speedy close. No policy- or guideline-based reasons stated for deletion. Established practice is that event-by-event listings are maintained as separate pages to avoid clumsy, oversized omnibus articles, and nominator provides no justification whatsoever for disregarding this practice -- or for removing only one of the 37 similar articles for this competition, to say nothing of prior and subsequent years.

 * Keep the implied reason for deletion is that the page is a violation of WP:NOT; this can be viewed as a test-case for a (much wider) deletion if there's consensus that it is a violation. I don't see it; Wikipedia also functions as an almanac and these tables are found in almanacs; having separate pages rather than a single Swimming at the 2014 South American Games page is an editorial decision that shouldn't depend on notability hoops.  There is a bit of a circular "keep this article because we keep this article", but until there's a convincing reason to delete, I'm fine with that. power~enwiki ( π,  ν ) 02:58, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep No real deletion argument has been presented. Saying that it's not notable outside of South America is not true. This is part of a larger series of a notable sporting event.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 07:12, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment: Just going to add that if this is kept, it should be moved back to Swimming at the 2014 South American Games – Women's 100 metre breaststroke. Althought he move was made in good faith, it appears to have been an unnecessary one which is contrary to the naming/capitalization convention followed for other similar athletic event articles thoughout the encyclopedia. Whether it's worth keep this title as a redirect is probably something which should be discussed, but there's nothing wrong with "metre" and no need to change it to "meter" per WP:RETAIN. -- Marchjuly (talk) 08:10, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
