This topic sounds like it ought to be notable, but it’s sourced only to a database and I can’t find any in depth coverage. Mccapra ( talk) 12:42, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Martial arts and Latvia. Mccapra ( talk) 12:42, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
- Keep As a continental sports event, I think this article "should" exist, so I think deleting is not the action to take here. Is tagging it with {{ refimprove}} sufficient? Simeon ( talk) 14:15, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

- Delete I didn't find the coverage I believe is required to meet WP:GNG. I found results and some basic sports coverage, but not what I would call significant independent coverage of the event itself. The mere fact that it's a continental championship does not grant automatic WP notability. I also looked at the 2006 and 2008 event articles and they both have few or no references at all--definitely nothing that shows WP:GNG is met. I thought about adding them to this AfD, but will wait to see what happens with this discussion. The burden of proof is on those claiming notability. Papaursa ( talk) 23:45, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
Delete I had a look for sources like others have, but I also wasn’t able to find much independent coverage. As said, it sounds like it ought to be notable. However, the article fails WP:GNG and unfortunately should be deleted unless someone is able to find some reliable independent sources.Fats40boy11 ( talk) 06:00, 24 July 2022 (UTC)- Comment will if nobody can find anything perhaps we should redirect to
European Taekwondo Championships?

- Redirect to above as plausible term. I think that would be a better option than deletion, so I have changed my mind slightly. However, there is not enough sources so we can’t keep the article in its current form unless someone can somehow find something that no one has currently been able to find.

Relisting comment: Redirect as an option?

- Comment The problem with the redirect is that the target article also doesn't seem to meet WP:GNG. I did check some of the pages for these championships for other years, besides the ones I previously mentioned, and none of them also seem to have significant independent coverage. The only sources seem to be lists of results and that doesn't seem sufficient to show WP notability to me. If something is to be kept, it seems like the proposed redirection target is better than lots of individual articles that don't meet WP:GNG. Objectively, I'd say none of them meet WP notability criteria, but I'm willing to be flexible. Papaursa ( talk) 02:44, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

- Redirect - to European Taekwondo Championships. While it's possible that the redirect target also isn't notable, that's a separate discussion for a separate AfD, if one is to happen. This AfD is singularly about this article, and this article does not have significant coverage in reliable sources and fails WP:GNG. However, European Taekwondo Championships is a viable redirect target as it currently stands. - Aoidh ( talk) 04:22, 14 August 2022 (UTC)
