Delete. [Edit: See my new vote, visible below in my comment added 00:17, 27 July 2013 (UTC).] My research indicates that the subject of this (mediocre) article seems to fail WP:INDEPTH. Cheers, —Unforgettableid (talk) 00:36, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. You've just convinced me that it's perhaps the biggest wine competition in the world. Fine, but that doesn't affect notability. OK; let's look at the sources.
You found seven sources. The Telegraph article you found is the best of the seven; it includes six or seven sentences about the competition. The others include even less: perhaps two or three sentences on average.
Please visit Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Reviewing instructions. Expand the box labeled "Expand this box to learn about notability and verifiability". The box requires "references about the subject – at least one lengthy paragraph, preferably more". How many references? "Several of them."
Dear all: do all these shallow-depth sources, taken together, prove that the competition is worthy of a Wikipedia article? If so, why?
Or should our article be merged into Wine competition? Would it be possible to do the merge without losing any of our article's lead section or its "Judging" section?

Upon consideration, I've changed my !vote above to merge. Northamerica1000(talk) 07:41, 27 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Per WP:EVENT, changed back to leaning keep, particularly per WP:LASTING. Struck more above. The topic's notability is somewhat tricky, but per WP:PRESERVE, the content should remain somewhere. Cheers, Northamerica1000(talk) 08:25, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
