The entire text of the article is "Rodney Anderson will be at the 2010 Lawn Bowls Tournament." Which is interesting, because the article claims to be about the 2006 games. Besides, that sort of inormation belongs here. Delete-ify - Che Nuevara, the Democratic Revolutionary 18:38, 20 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• It is certainly worth deleting in its current format. However there is certainly potential here for an encyclopedic article as lawn bowls is one of the sports being played at the 2006 Commonwealth Games see [1] and representing your country at the Commonwealth Games is the highest profile one can achieve as a bowls player. I will have a go at cleaning this up Capitalistroadster 00:31, 21 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. I have rewritten the article so that it refers to the 2006 lawn bowls competition. There is verifiable information about this event available and is contained in the article. Capitalistroadster 02:07, 21 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak Keep With the rewtite, the article nelongs in Wikipedia, but I'm less certain if that should be as a separate article or as a section of a broader one. Caerwine 20:17, 21 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per precedent at Olympic Games. Sam Vimes 22:45, 21 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Very strong keep -- The Commonwealth Games is the single top event in bowls and precedent was set at the Olympics for "sport at event. --OntarioQuizzer 03:31, 23 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep--Cyberjunkie | Talk 12:30, 23 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. This serves no purpose now; I would not object to it being recreated after (or soon before, when other facts than the venue are clear) the 2006 games. It may be worth keeping some of the information for an article on the venue - which would be notable. Ambi 13:42, 23 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

National squads have already started to be announced for the event. I've posted the Canadian team to the article. Hopefully this convinces others of the article's notability at the present time. --OntarioQuizzer 14:59, 23 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep There is a fair amount of information included now which can only be added to as the Games draw nearar and actually take place and which will of much use to anyone interested in the 2006 C Games and the C Games in general. There is certainly no need to delete the articel now just to recreate it later as this may result in a loss of some of the information. Evil Eye 22:01, 25 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
