 * Support deletion It's just a form of tennis competition which, if it is notable at all, could be added as a one-liner to the Tennis article. HiLo48 (talk) 02:53, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
 * We actually have a whole article on game ladders (more properly known, and certainly more widely known in sources, as ladder tournaments). This article appears to be mainly an advertisement, for the externally linked WWW site, masquerading as an article.  A redirect from tennis ladder (note the singular) to game ladder would stop future re-growth, and can be enacted without any use of the deletion tool by simply renaming this article from plural to singular, per Naming conventions (plurals), and redirecting it.

 * Comment I don't think it was intended as an advertisement. It's a first-time contribution by a new editor who isn't yet familiar with the Wikipedia style of writing.  If it's a masquerade, then it's a good one.  However, the article seems suddenly to have been deleted while I'm typing the comment, with no explanation.  Mandsford 13:32, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
 * No. It's a straight word-for-word copy of this advertisement, pasted into Wikipedia not to make an article but to point to a WWW site. Uncle G (talk) 13:40, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete Although I think that the discussion needs to go the full run, with a chance for someone to establish notability of this type of ladder tournament with reliable independent verifiable sources, there's no sourcing except to a link to a website that isn't operational. If it's an ad, it ain't much of one.   Mandsford 15:57, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Ladder tournament (to which Game ladder points). Tennis ladders are pretty well known, so something should be available. Clarityfiend (talk) 01:34, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
 * delete I speedied this as an obvious advertisement for www.tennisladders.net/. Why are we even discussing the merits of something that ends with the plug Ladders are a blast. They are a great way to meet new players and improve match playing skills. If you haven't played in a tennis ladder, then you have been missing out.?
