This is a routine scouting event with no claim or indication that this it will pass WP:EFFECT. LightGreenApple _{talk to me} 01:00, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This article describes an event, which scouts from all over the places will be participated. Other than the World Scout Jamborees, & regional scout jamborees organized by the World Scout Organization & regional offices, this event is organized by a single Scout Group - 1st Kandy Dharmaraja Scout Group. And that is to mark the 100th Anniversary of the group scouting. This is remarkable event, since World Scouting itself has 106 year history.

And all the given sources are reliable, secondary sources about the topic. None of the given references are related to the official web page of the event. If Google, you will find so many other sources which discuss about this event.Chandana.uduwela 10:56, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Article is on a single meeting of a single scouting association. There might be some point in having an article on the series of meetings, or on the group as a whole, but an article on this is inappropriate.non notable individual meeting of a single scout group in a single college. There might conceivably be a point in a general article on the series of meetings, but the best way to handle topics like this is to mention them in a single line in the article on the national association. There's nothing significant worth merging, and no need for a redirect--anyone looking for information will naturally go to the page for the national association.

-- I believe this event is notable enough to keep as a seperate article in Wikipedia. Scouts & scouts leaders from many countries gathered for this event, & President of Sri Lanka, Mahinda Rajapaksa was the chief guest for the closing ceremony. Objective of this event is to mark the 100 year celebrations of the scouting at Dharmaraja. There can be so many scout groups & so many scout events in the world, but very less has this kind of history (this scout group started just after 6 years form the birth of World Scouting) Chandana.uduwela 10:56, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The attendance of notable persons does not make the event notable, to keep in an encyclopedia it must have had some lasting significance, have a read of WP:EVENT and the section on WP:LASTING. LGA _talk^edits 21:59, 22 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

--If there no way that we can keep this artcle, please keep the article "Old Rajans Scouts Association". Will add these details as a section in there. Chandana.uduwela 22.06, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

• Merge to Old Rajans Scouts Association and leave this page as a redirect. A trove of events tied to the central association were recently created, each one with one or two sources. Were they all put back into the article for that scouts association, it could be a decent stand-alone article. MezzoMezzo (talk) 10:18, 24 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
