[edit] Guayaquil Marathon

Guayaquil Marathon (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Tagged as A1, but has plenty of context. Is this worth keeping? Feels like it to me. Daniel Case 01:50, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Weak delete; keep if independent sources are added. This looks like an event that is probably notable, but needs independent sources. I'm troubled by the fact that the only link is to the web site of the race promoters, which smells of spam. Someone might rescue this with a little work. Realkyhick 02:54, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep It's a perfectly legitimate city marathon with over a thousand runners competing. Here are the 2005 results [1]. Nick mallory 06:20, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per the above. A moderately large marathon in a moderately large city likely has enough notability. Hard to track down sources due to its location, but a Google search turns up several, many in Spanish. ɑʀкʏɑɴ 15:32, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
    • Spanish sources are OK. Link some and we'll probably be fully in the clear here. Realkyhick 16:31, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep Seems legitimate after checking out the AIMS links. Per earlier posts, a city marathon is likely to have no problem meeting notability. Perhaps someone at Wikiproject Ecuador can help finding suitable sources. Thomjakobsen 21:40, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
