Western Canadian Championship (Gaelic football)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non-notable Canadian Provinces Gaelic football competition. PRODed, but PROD was removed by creator. Epeefleche (talk) 21:56, 8 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment: Do you want to move for the 2004-08 Western Canadian Championship articles as well?Tyrenon (talk) 22:45, 8 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Likely. I'll wait a moment, to see if there is reaction to this and 2 parallel noms.--Epeefleche (talk) 22:47, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep Axed the article to a stub and added refs. Now good enough to stay. Night of the Big Wind  talk  13:03, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Addition: The seperate year articles do not add anything of note that is not covered by the now stubbed parent. Night of the Big Wind  talk  13:07, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Three thoughts.  First -- we need multiple, substantial, independent RSs as refs.  It seems that we still lack that.  Second -- even the lone book that is used as a ref is a book published by Trafford Publishing, a publisher that requires payment from the author to cover set-up costs and prints shorter runs or even one copy at a time in response to orders from the author or from retail customers, and therefore does not appear to be an RS.  See the content guideline WP:USERGENERATED.  Third -- may I refer/link to your comment above at the individual year articles?  Thanks.--Epeefleche (talk) 19:56, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
 * No, you can not refer to my comments. Night of the Big Wind  talk  21:46, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - Apart from the source provided by NotBW, I can find nothing else mentioning the league. As Epeefleche has noted, the O'Flynn source is not incredibly reliable, and it seems to be all we have. Unless more sources can be found, this does not meet our notability guidelines.

 * I did find a lot of coverage in "Celtic Connection". Unfortunately, I am not sure if it is a newspaper or a "club magazine".  Night of the Big Wind  talk  23:04, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Keep. To answer Night of the Big Wind's question above, GNews turns up some references to Celtic Connection as a legitimate community newspaper, including this one from the Vancouver Sun saying, "For month-by-month, year-by-year coverage of Celtic doings, though, nothing approaches publisher Maura McCay's monthly Celtic Connection newspaper -- www.celtic-connection.com -- the 153rd edition of which is out now and as handsomely wide-reaching as ever." Adding that to the book, there's (barely) enough to support the topic.  --Arxiloxos (talk) 01:25, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
 * And that means? Fail or pass? Night of the Big Wind  talk


 * The book does not count at all towards notability. As discussed above, it is clearly not an RS.--Epeefleche (talk) 02:49, 19 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep Its a senior championship and therefore meets notability for gaelic games. Murry1975 (talk) 23:02, 20 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep one umbrella article: I came here from the comment on the individual championships. I think that those should be merged into this, and this should be kept  Purpleback  pack  89  ≈≈≈≈  00:04, 25 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep per Purple. All those articles at Articles for deletion/Western Canadian Championship 2009 redirect to this one. It should definitely be kept from that consensus. ---Michaelzeng7 (talk - contribs) 15:03, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
