[edit] Thrasher cup
Non-notable. There has to be a threshold for sporting events to be notable. A reasonable threshold might be a State event (USA) or a County event (UK) for example. In my view, an informal event simply within a City must fall below the threshold otherwise WP will be flooded with events of only very local significance. BlueValour 01:53, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
- Delete all local sporting events of no greater significance - see also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The HJ Cup for a similar one I remember, although this one is more notable, though not sufficiently so. Jammo (SM247) 02:05, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
- Comment: Although I tend to agree with the nom on first read, this would exclude, for example, Beanpot, which I don't think anyone wants. I do think that Beanpot should stay, and I could be convinced that this should go, but I have trouble articulating a consistent rationale for the two actions. --Deville (Talk) 03:00, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
- Weak keep and cleanup per Deville. We seriously need some kind of notability guideline on this. --Coredesat 06:17, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
- Delete. This might have been more notable if it were a tournament between more than two teams. --Danielrocks123 06:58, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
- Keep Seems notable enough Tobyk777 07:14, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

- Delete Just one tournament between two local schools does not need a WP article —Mets501 (talk) 13:24, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
- Merge to the articles on the respective universities, under a category of "Sports" or "Student Life" or "Tradition." Interesting info but not notable enough for a stand-alone. Interlingua talk 15:37, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
- Delete but include information in the articles on the teams, schools, or cities if they exist. Sophy's Duckling 23:34, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
- Delete sounds like its about some dude's jock strap. Brjatlick 02:35, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
