The result was no consensus, even though I think the "delete" side had a much stronger argument when it came to lack of independent sourcing. There were a lot of assertions of notability on the "keep" side that lack evidence to back them up, also some of the arguments there are irrelevant (arguing that the tournament is notable is not equivalent to arguing that we should have the squad lists in separate articles.)
Still, with a clear majority opposed to deletion it would be a stretch to say that there is consensus here. Also, I cannot see a policy that mandates deletion outright (WP:N is a guideline) since the content here does appear to be verifiable, at least through the tournament's homepage. As such, the option of merging with the individual tournaments remains an alternative even though some have expressed reservations about the idea since they would take up a lot of space.

An important (but not the most important) youth soccer tournament: no objection to an article for every year of the tournament. But an article for the squads playing at the tournament in any given year seems like serious overkill. At first glance, this seems to be the only youth invitational tournament to get this treatment (Category:Association football tournament squads, some other articles in this cat or subcats probably need deletion as well). No evidence in any of the nominated articles that these squads have received significant attention as a separate subject in reliable, independent sources. Even the tournaments themselves are hardly sourced, but for these sources can be found with some effort. The squad articles though fail WP:N. Fram (talk) 09:52, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep (OF COURSE) Are serious? Or are kidding? Because you just can be kidding. EVERY article about an tournament needs an squad article. It's pretty important to know who is playing in that tournament and this is also for posterity. THIS IS FUNDAMENTAL.--SirEdimon (talk) 20:51, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
PS: I'm telling. The biggest problem in this encyclopedia is unfortunately the excess of bureaucrats. Rules are important, but this guys who want to DELETE ALL wikipedia are really unnecessary. They don't contibute anything with this encyclopedia. If they could, they would delete Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo articles. We have to be here discussing obvious things with these people. Trying to argument that the Earth is round.--SirEdimon (talk) 20:51, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
EVERY article about an tournament needs an squad article. It's pretty important to know who is playing in that tournament and this is also for posterity. THIS IS FUNDAMENTAL. I never ever seen somebody nominate a squad article for deletion before. Because when you have an tournament article, you have a squad article. They're attached. One is an integral and fundamental part of another one.--SirEdimon (talk) 15:32, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
