SAFF Club Championship[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This is a proposed a tournament. There are no reliable sources that can confirm the starting date. Only a 2016 source that says it'll happen in 2018, but no further sources. This is a clear case of WP:TOOSOON Coderzombie (talk) 01:44, 18 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete~~ Merge ~~per nom~~ - my WP:BEFORE check couldn't find anything in the last year on this particular competition, which doesn't bode well for it occuring this year. Soft deletion sounds reasonable, given a change in circumstances would make the refs and info worthwhile again. Nosebagbear (talk) 09:42, 18 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merge would be a reasonable judgement - its status of indecision probably give enough to let it be a paragraph. SAFF as suggested by Fenix down would make most sense. Nosebagbear (talk) 12:45, 18 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and Redirect - Continuing delays mean it is not really notable on its own, but looks like it is starting this year. Sufficient sources in the article as is to warrant the brief content being merged with South Asian Football Federation for now and then a standalone article if the tournament takes place. Fenix down (talk) 12:37, 18 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The source that says it will start this year is from 2016. I am a regular follower of Indian Football and I have never heard about it till now. So even my WP:TOOSOON argument was generous at best. I'd suggest delete or even draftify to a userpage, but wouldn't mind a redirect. Coderzombie (talk) 13:10, 18 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Well I originally thought draftify, but it's been worked on by a reasonable number of different users so not sure draftifying is best bit. I was willing to consider merge as a paragraph on this tournament that has (seemingly) fizzled out would be worthwhile in its own right, even if it isn't actually going to occur.

Is this article not similar to this proposed articel European Super League (association football) , merge into the SAFF page rather than just delete, there's sufficent references. Coderzombie, just because you have never heard of it, doesn't mean to say it's not a valid article. It may just show your not a regular follower as you thought you were?

We don't have to go by what I have or haven't heard. The fact is that all the sources mentioned say that this is something being proposed with no clarity on when exactly it'll start or if it'll start, that's why it's too soon. Coderzombie (talk) 06:26, 19 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - no evidence of notability. Giant Snowman 15:16, 18 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or draftify without prejudice - appears to be WP:TOOSOON, and if the event doesn't take, it won't be notable. SportingFlyer talk 20:26, 18 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
