Virtual Team Challenge

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Contested speedy deletion. Really, there's nothing here to indicate notability: no outside sources, no third-party coverage, all references lead back to its sponsor. Non-notable "annual sporting event". Seattle (talk) 20:03, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

Seattle I am doing my best. I found one third party link but that's just to an old man, 91, who rowed a lot. It's amazing. I am trying to get this started and am excited about it. We'll see. Maybe this will be deleted (well, probably yes) but I am sorry I deleted the notice but I will see what else I can include. I am really sorry that C2 keeps the event so close. Groan. How can I make this work? Is there a proper path? Chrisabraham (talk) 15:59, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
 * If its sponsor "keeps the event so close", it's probably not notable. No sponsor ever wants to keep one of their events "close"; if you could only find one third-party link, than its probably not notable. Seattle (talk) 04:22, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
 * There are over 6,000 participants in these events. Maybe I should create a "Virtual Challenge page instead of a Virtual Team Challenge page? There are events planned over the entire year. As I said, there were over 6k participants and there have been over the last number of years. The participants are from all over the world and the only commonality is that one must use the Concept2 rowing ergometer to row it -- but this is the same as the CRASH-B Sprints as well.  There are participants all across high schools, colleges, private clubs, virtual teams (I am personally a team member, myself). Chrisabraham (talk) 20:16, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
 * If none are notable, I wouldn't recommend creating one at all. Seattle (talk) 00:32, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
