I am also nominating the following related pages because [insert reason here]:

2007 Tour of the Bahamas (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Delete Non-notable event with non-notable champions from what I can tell. I watch the Tour de France results closely every year and have never heard of any of these guys even thought it is reported in www.cyclingnews.com TonyTheTiger 18:21, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

CommentThe non-notability of all leading finishers is what I am basing my nomination on. I just found 2007 Tour of the Bahamas to add to this argument. TonyTheTiger 18:42, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Comment, the notability of an event is not the same as the notability of the winners of it. (though there may well be a correlation) Mathmo ^Talk 14:07, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

• Keep Tour of the Bahamas. An internationally recognised event is more than worthy of an article. Merge 2007 Tour of the Bahamas to the main article. Neither the event nor the main article is large enough to need seperate results pages. Nuttah68 09:51, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep, but merge the two article together. Is a development level race, but that does not mean it isn't notable. Mathmo ^Talk 16:59, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep, the fact that you don't know the event nor the riders participating in it does not mean the event is not notable. Merging would be possible, but wouldn't make sense in my opinion according to the winners who are already mentioned in the main article, while more details can be found in the year by year reports, just like it's done in most other articles on Wikipedia.

  • Both articles are short, so they could be merged it would seem to me. Certainly would be no problem to split them out again if the main article gets bigger. Either way, I don't mind if it is merged or not so long as the overall result is keep. Mathmo ^Talk 13:59, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
    • I agree with that, SportsAddicted | discuss 02:06, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
