Completely unsourced (and tagged as such for a full decade or more) articles about a defunct minor-league sports competition, two years' individual runnings of it and a redundant "list of winners" that's really just a retransclusion of the same template that's already at the bottom of the main article as it is (and consists almost entirely of redlinks anyway).
These are basically a gigantic nest of permanent redlinks, because almost nothing wikilinked in any of the articles actually has its own article: virtually none of the teams, virtually none of the people, no other year besides the two listed here, and on and so forth.
As always, every sports competition is not "inherently" entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because it existed -- this would have to be shown as the subject of sufficient reliable source coverage to clear our notability criteria for sports events, but these clearly don't if nobody's been arsed to add even one citation to any of them in 10 to 13 years. And even if the head article could be salvaged with better sourcing, it would still be questionable whether any of the other three would be needed as separate standalone topics: the list, in particular, is profoundly redundant to the main article since it lists nothing that the main article isn't already listing.

Delete "List of Canada Cup winners" as a completely useless article, which duplicates information on the main article. Further, this isn't even close to the most prominent Canada Cup, for which many have lists integral in their articles -- 67.70.25.175 (talk) 10:44, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: We need to have opinions and evatulations of all articles in a bundled nomination, not just one.

Merge all together into Canada Cup (floorball). Single annual iterations of this don't seem to have SIGCOV for WP:NSEASONS on their own, but I could be proven wrong. Overall, there's a decent amount of coverage of the tournament overall, should be sufficient for GNG. Here's just a small handful of the links I found on ProQuest: [1][2][3][4][5][6]. —siro χ o 04:44, 1 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
