[edit] Trans Tasman Croquet Test 2006

I can't quite tell what this is. Is it a notable event? No outside sources. Also, I believe it to be vanity (editor is one of the people the article mentions). Wickethewok 19:08, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Vanity, WP is not a web host, not notable or verifiable (Single Google hit didn't even turn up the group's web site. No Google news entries.) Ande B 22:52, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete This doesn't appear to be "major-league" croquet (if there is such a thing). Non-notable. OhNoitsJamie^Talk 23:28, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete for reasons already given. DVD+ R/W 23:29, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete because it is vanity. However an international between Australia and New Zealand is as "major-league" as it gets. --Bduke 02:12, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

• If it can be tidied up, I'll go for keep. --Bduke 08:15, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

• Comment Subject may well be notable enough but needs verification and general tidyup. Capitalistroadster 06:01, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Australia-related deletions. -- Capitalistroadster 06:01, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Representative international series between two countries should be easily notable. I did a google search which found several different websites which mention the series currently being played in Victoria [1] [2] [3] [4], so I don't doubt the authenticity. OK, croquet's not cricket or football, but it is a sport that's played in Canada, the UK, United States, Australia, New Zealand and France. The article certainly needs tidying up, and the organisers haven't really got their act together to promote the series, but other than that, what's the problem? -- I@n ≡ talk 06:18, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
  • OTOH, I'd have no great qualms about this being deleted if the author is not interested enough to expand, wikify and provide references. -- I@n ≡ talk 00:30, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per links provided by I@n. Inter-country sporting events are notable enough for me. Ansell Review my progress! 07:45, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per I@n. -- Synapse 09:22, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Delete nonnotable. Wikipedia is not a provincial newsletter Bwithh 22:09, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep if tidied up. What's so provincial about an international sports event? JPD (talk) 10:31, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, nn sporting event.--Peta 02:24, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Most individuals "tests" in any sport are not notable enough to warrant an individual encyclopedia page - and nothing suggests there was anything unusually notable about this one. Zaxem 12:12, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
