World Championships (Table Hockey)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

I see that the champions are listed on the ITHF table hockey article, so I doubt the need for this article. In this unsourced form, and due to other reasons, I'd imagine that it could be construed as not notable. dci &#124;  TALK   22:12, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

The champions (1 player) are listed in the summary on ITHF table hockey, but here the playoff results (16 players) are stated. It is a huge difference. There is a big need in the TH world for an article as this one. I have also added references now, sorry about missing that in the first try. TH_guru &#124;  TALK   17:47, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete Hardly any internet hits. Fails WP:GNG. Looks like WP:FANCRUFT of an involved player (WP:COI). Wikipedia is not the place to promote a table game. Night of the Big Wind  talk  12:04, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment This is a real tournament in a real sport with a real article on Wikipedia, how is that WP:FANCRUFT. How would a tournament on Wikipedia be promoting the game? Does the Wikipedia article on Americas Cup promote Sailing? That's right, it doesn't. How are we supposed to evolve the coverage of minor sports on Wikipedia if we can't add one of the biggest known tournaments in Table Hockey. Why bother having the sport on Wikipedia if you can't have that sports governing bodies, best players of all time and the biggest tournaments. Answer me this, how are we supposed to help someone learn fully of a sport that's in a encyclopedia if we can't add the basics. I'm on a goal to find one of the best players in each sport as part of my personal project and i've found it hard to do in some of the lesser known sports that's on here, so i've had to look elsewhere. That to me is a problem that needs fixing. So i joined the site to help out with this major oversight. I'm now in WP:SPORTS to improve minor sports that aren't that well known but are on Wikipedia ex: Bossaball and Broomball. After seeing this i might be reconsidering.GuzzyG (talk) 11:50, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Strong Delete This is simply a listing of non-notable people. The tournament itself might be notable, and the winners of such are notable enough for inclusion on that page (as they currently are), but the quarterfinalists are most certainly not notable.  See also WP:NOTSTATS and WP:FANCRUFT. Wikipedia is not the place to promote (and in this case seemingly create) coverage of minor "sports" (a game at best).  Ravendrop 09:32, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not all sporting events are notable. I see no IRS, and a reasonable search doesn't help much. Wikipedia is not here to promote. Fails every aspect of WP:EVENT. BusterD (talk) 11:09, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
