The result was delete all. The people arguing keep had three weeks on bringing significant coverage in either this debate or the article that makes the parent article meet WP:GNG, but didn't bother. Secret ^account 14:40, 16 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

PROD removed with the reason of "good known tournament, plz start a full discussion." I disagree, and believe the original PROD rationale of "non-notable friendly competition, not significantly covered in reliable sources" remains valid. Giant Snowman 13:14, 27 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating the following related pages for the exact same reason:

Strong keep. No reason to delete this article. Big coverage in Russian/Ukrainian media. Usual annual tournament with strong clubs participating. Similar notability as for other 2013 friendly tournaments. NickSt (talk) 16:10, 27 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Where is this significant coverage? GiantSnowman 18:31, 27 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- WP:EANP. Links are in the related articles. Normal coverage not different from another supercups/tournaments. NickSt (talk) 19:20, 27 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete all - non-notable friendly competition. Season articles in contravention of WP:NSEASONS. Fenix down (talk) 17:16, 27 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Notable tournament with many links. 178.93.236.79 (talk) 01:46, 4 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep. A tournament getting a big amount of coverage in the countries which participate in it. 176.26.247.147 (talk) 08:20, 4 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Keep the parent article, but Redirect or Delete the season-articles. All of the information that is presented in these four articles can easily be presented in one article, and there is no real need for the three WP:SPINOFF articles. Mentoz86 (talk) 10:29, 6 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral leaning to delete on main article. There may be significant coverage – i.e. something rather more than match reports – in languages I don't read without assistance, but no-one here has yet come up with links to any. The case for keeping such articles would be much stronger if people who can readily access this big amount of coverage would use it to add some solid content to the article (not just more tables and pictures of national flags). There are currently no external links in the article other than the competition's website and that of its sponsor. Delete the season pages. We don't need individual pages for a few football results. If the main article is kept, merge anything useful from the season pages, but please not all the footballboxes with their endless strings of names of penalty-shootout participants. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 13:23, 6 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete the season articles as a starting point, but could see if there's enough reliable sources in them to help warrant an overall t'ment article.Eldumpo (talk) 22:00, 9 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

So what you mean is delete the season pages, but Keep the article? Just to make it clear. 94.13.108.100 (talk) 10:14, 14 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
