The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was procedural close. From the discussion it is clear that these articles are not sufficiently similar to permit a bundled nomination. The close is without prejudice to renominating each individually. (non-admin closure) Tim Song (talk) 21:31, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The player only reached the quarter-finals of the 2006 IBSF World Championship. The article was only created because the tournament has an article.

I am also nominating the following related pages because these player articles exist only because the 2006 IBSF World Championship exists:

This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 18:56, 27 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
This AfD nomination was modified to add ((Find sources)) for all targeted articles. — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont] ‹(-¿-)› 17:39, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep at least Jaique Ip: Amateur quarter- and semi-finalists are perhaps not overwhelmingly notable. Ip, however, is a doubles world champion, thus clearly notable. I have to note that the ((Find sources)) "News" link does provide numerous valid major-media hits on Perwani, establishing at least multiple, independent, reliable sources, the primary notability criterion. A similar template for each of the others probably would show similar results, too, unless some of these players have dropped out of the sport. I have taken the liberty of adding the templates so that people can see for themselves. Finally, it is not very civil to insist that the "only" reason that someone might create an article is to just make a willy-nilly link from another page. There are plenty of WP:SNOOKER participants who would certainly feel that any of the top 16 or so (i.e. world quarter-finalist) amateur players are notable enough for articles. It must also be kept in mind that most if not all of these players have had (hopefully progressive) careers since the 2006 event, and some may now even be pros. — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont] ‹(-¿-)› 17:39, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Kathy Parashis, found some sources on her here and here. I'm no snooker expert, but a national champion probably meets the notability criteria, as far as I'm concerned. I was able to find these without too much trouble, so I recommend that all of these biographies be similarly investigated to see if any of them are viable before being deleted.
