2014 ACC Championship

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Non-existant tournament that never took place (should have started today, according to the article). Fails WP:N and also WP:V. I've also added the parent article of ACC Championship for the same rationale. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 10:40, 7 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: not notable in its non-existence.Vrac (talk) 15:28, 7 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I should have said not notable in its not covered non-existence. Vrac (talk) 21:35, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

FFS, I guess Samwalton9 and Northamerica1000 are happy with having events that never took place on WP. I hope you've asked Santa for a nice fence to sit on over the holiday period. And see this which is along the same lines and heading for delete. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 14:16, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Part of your nomination is flawed, stating it is unverifiable. See [1]. Events that didn't occur can be notable if they receive significant coverage in reliable sources. The delete !vote beneath the nomination seems to assume non-notability since the event didn't occur, but doesn't state anything about sources, or lack thereof, about the topic.

This didn't receive significant coverage. Add a spine to that present list for you too. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 14:38, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please calm down Lugnuts. If you thought the article should have been deleted straight away we have prod and csd available, you opened a deletion discussion so that editors could discuss whether the article should be deleted. Given that only one person had responded I relisted the discussion for further debate because there was no harm in this article staying on Wikipedia for another week or two. My relisting is not a keep vote, but a notice that I do not feel that sufficient discussion has been allowed to take place such that I could close the discussion with a consensus. As NA1000 said, we have plenty of articles on subjects which never occurred, so sources maybe existing is a perfectly reasonable assumption. Let this week's discussion take place and see what happens. Sam Walton (talk) 16:43, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I would have proded it, but there are too many jobsworths who would just decline it. I look forward to someone else with no balls to relist it one week from today. Try and have a Merry Christmas. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 18:39, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

AfDs aren't typically relisted more than twice, a decision should be made after this week. I hope you have a good christmas too. Sam Walton (talk) 20:24, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete 2014 ACC Championship, and
Keep ACC Championship although there are a few decent hits for this online, I don't think that as an event that took place it is notable enough for an article. However, I think there is enough to save the parent article, at least for the time being, as the idea of the event remains notable, and there is always a chance (let me consult my crystal ball!!) that there will be a future tournament played.

Redirect all relevant info to the ACC Championship page. The event seems notable enough to warrant a single page but not two covering the same information, Aerospeed (Talk) 14:54, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
