The result was delete‎. If you believe little thought went into either PROD'ding or de-PRODding, you might leave a little personal note to the editor responsible. I find this more effective that a canned template. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 06:09, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

PROD'd by Moritoriko as "Unsourced for 14 years, all news articles that mention it have canned promotional text". De-PROD'd by PawPatroler because "There are citations... just not that much". This is blatantly untrue - there's an external link to the official website, but it's not used as a citation and doesn't verify some of the facts (such as the details of the challenge). This was part of a 10-minute spree of 5 de-PRODs, which while not "illegal" per se does give you an indication of how much time was spent actually checking for sources before de-PRODing. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 03:38, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nominator. Not enough sources online to indicate notability. – numbermaniac 08:41, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral, Sources do exist; however, I am uncertain if they would contribute to GNG as they are mostly local newspapers bragging about their kids. Each of the following articles at least contain information that might be usable in our article: [1][2][3] ✶Qux yz ✶ 19:03, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Generally, that kind of routine local news doesn't contribute much to notability. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 21:15, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
That's why I am relatively tentative. Some of my students have appeared in my local news, and while I don't want to degrade them too much, they're achievements really weren't that notable and I would not be writing an article on them. ✶Qux yz ✶ 01:18, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
