Not-so notable event that got cancelled due to the pandemic. If this information is really important, it could be summarised in 1-2 lines at 2022 Commonwealth Games article. Also note that most of the events in Category:Sports events cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic are redirects. Peter Ormond 💬 10:33, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Tentative agree - I would quibble on the 'not-so-notable', that's a pure opinion - I would argue given the quite well publicised politics behind the original creation of a new championship event, and the tensions it revealed, and the unique status that was going to be given to medals (included in second table linked to main 2022 Commonwealth Games), it certainly did reach notability - and would have kept it IF the event had actually taken place.

But its cancellation - without word of any successor event - probably justifies reducing it to a paragraph ( a bit more than two lines, though) in a 'controversies' part of the 2022 Commonwealth Games front page. On that basis, I would agree with the deletion. Mpjmcevoybeta (talk) 13:42, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
