Following the deletion of 1998 Cyprus International Tournament (AfD), I intended to bring this here but never got around to it. My concerns are that this friendly tournament doesn't appear to pass WP:GNG and WP:SPORTSEVENT. Also worth noting that WP:NOTDATABASE states that merely being true, or even verifiable, does not automatically make something suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. Also GNG states that a topic is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list when it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. EU Football is a stats database with low standards for inclusion and the other cited source 4 nations appears to relate to a totally different tournament. I am not seeing anything in cursory searches to indicate that this topic received detailed media coverage. Given the clear consensus to delete the 1998 article, I'm not seeing any reason as to why this one should be any different and the WP:BURDEN should be on those wishing to have a stand-alone article to provide evidence of why this topic needs one.

If anyone finds multiple examples of detailed reliable media coverage in any language, I will happily withdraw this AfD. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 21:40, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
