Connacht Schools Rugby Senior Cup

[edit]

It has some decent coverage, but it is a schools sports competition and seems non-notable. Boleyn (talk) 20:35, 22 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree - Schools Rugby is a very important part of Irish rugby - many of the top players are first recognized at this level. The provincial finals draw large crowds every March. One cannot understand Irish rugby without knowing about this layer. Pmunited (talk) 15:31, 23 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: While Connacht Schools Rugby Senior Cup may not be the most reported and most well known of the provincial competitions, there is an article is each one of Ireland's four provinces it should be kept though it could do with improvement. Deleting this one article means leaving a quarter of the story untold. Also agree with Pmunited. ww2censor (talk) 22:24, 23 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

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

Keep: Connacht Schools is the weakest of the provincial competitions, but if this province is non-notable, logically, the same applies to the other three provinces. And if we did that, believe me, Wikipedia would be making headlines in Ireland. While I know that WP:OSE is normally non-kosher reasoning here, if you delete one province's article, as @Ww2censor says, you leave a quarter of the story untold.
