Fails WP:GNG, non-notable amateur competition JMHamo (talk) 12:46, 7 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating the following article for the same reason given above.

Keep. In the absence of a professional league, this competition (while for amateur teams) is the national club championship for women's soccer in Canada, which is hosting the FIFA Women's World Cup this year. It is "one of the largest national championships for women’s club football in the world"^[1], its teams have been featured in provincial media^[2], its players have played in the FIFA Women's World Cup^[3], and is considered important enough to be livestreamed on Canadian online sports broadcasters^[4]. If part of the goal of WikiProject Football is to write articles on all notable football competitions in every country, I feel like this applies. I'm fairly new to Wikipedia, but if there's a different standard for noteworthiness that's being used, can I get your help in understanding it, because I don't know what it is. n.b. Both articles should properly be titled as "Jubilee Trophy" - Jubilee Shield appears to be an antiquated term. Gopherbashi (talk) 14:37, 7 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Searching for "jubilee trophy" there are a number of news stories in addition to those cited by Gopherbashi. This meets WP:GNG. T.C.Haliburton^{talk nerdy to me} 20:46, 7 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment We need more than routine news coverage to prove notibility. JMHamo (talk) 20:54, 7 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep "The Jubilee Trophy is one of the oldest national women's competitions in the world"[1] and searching does yeild coverage that is more than routine. Perfect example of an article that could be expanded instead of deleted.Cptnono (talk) 00:11, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep How can the national cup of number 9 FIFA ranked nation not be notable? Nfitz (talk) 17:32, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment National Cup?? It's an amature competition... JMHamo (talk) 17:42, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment So? That doesn't make it not a national competition, and the top-level competition of the sport. How is this any different than the The Challenge Trophy? Nfitz (talk) 17:51, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - top competition for women's football in Canada and therefore inherently notable. Needs improving with the references cited above but fail to see how any articles on Canadian women's football could be more notable than this bar the national team article.
