[edit] The Gareth MacFadyen Cup
I prodded this article a few weeks ago, but the prod was removed. This is a seemingly non-notable match contested by two non-notable teams in memory of a non-notable person; only two non-WP Google hits for the Cup. "Gareth MacFadyen" only gets 29 unique Google hits, including many Wikipedia mirros. Kicking222 03:18, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
- I should also note that the prod was removed by someone with zero WP edits to any other page, but the user gave a strong rationale on the article's talkpage and attempted to improve the page. Still, I cannot find much significance. -- Kicking222 03:22, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

- Comment this seems to be a much bigger deal in Japan than in the other countries listed (it's always held in Tokyo, for example). I'm not sure we should expect tons of English-language results. Lyrl Talk C 17:46, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
- Comment It's also apparently an entirely Japan's ex-pat community related event, so I'm not sure we should expect tons of Japanese-language results, either. TomorrowTime 19:04, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
- Comment A Google search for Gareth MacFadyen Cup returns two results other than Wikipedia sites. Fg2 01:12, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
- Delete per NOT info 3 "Memorials. Wikipedia is not the place to honor departed friends and relatives. Subjects of encyclopedia articles must be notable besides being fondly remembered." It was a tragic death and the memorial game between two non-professional(?) rugby teams isn't really notable. I tried several searches in Japanese language and I cannot find anything on the subject other than a mention on the webpage of the bar which sponsors the even. --Kunzite 03:03, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
