Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mister Global

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 no consensus. There are three calls to delete against one to keep. The main dispute appears to be the sourcing. There is some coverage in sources that are independent of the subject - the AfD nominator found one such source, which though it may be a complaint against the subject, does cover it. There has been some discussion regarding just which of the sources do cover the event. However, after eliminating those which appear to have used in error, there are still several sources left. That the event is termed "Global", but is actually Asian, is not a valid rationale for deletion, otherwise there would be questions raised about the World Series. The quality of the sources and the amount of significance of the coverage has also been questioned. One source does appear to be a blog. However, Thai Rath has covered the event using three paragraphs, and other sources have also mentioned it. I don't think, however, that the case has fully been made that the event is notable, but nor has the case been made that it isn't, so there is No consensus to delete the main article. The two sub-articles Mister Global 2014 and Mister Global 2015 both lack reliable sources, so after closing I will redirect those titles to the parent article.
