Minor cricket tournament, we don't need articles for every individual season of this tournament, as they don't pass
WP:GNG. Most other T10 events don't have individual season articles (apart from
Abu Dhabi T10, which is questionable anyway), as there simply isn't coverage of local T10 tournaments like this one. Regardless of the outcome of
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Zim Afro T10, this season article should be deleted.

A redirect with a very partial merge of the dates and venue, result, leading run scorer and wicket taker perhaps - i.e. a two to three sentence paragraph - to
Zim Afro T10 would seem to be a possibility as well. I can see a delete, but perhaps redirect will help stop recreation?

That depends on whether
Zim Afro T10 is kept or not. If that article is redirected, then redirecting this would be inappropriate.

Yes, quite. It took two sentences to summarise the first edition there by the way.

Which specific references show significant coverage of this particular season that warrants a separate season article?

I'm with Joseph here, I really don't see great quality references throwing a tonne of coverage at the tournament. I see Indian fan sites, a couple of articles at Wisden that are marginal in terms of GNG coverage (floodlights is the best one), tweets and YouTube, but not a lot of substance. I wouldn't usually be tempted to do that "source analysis table" bs that people do, but this is really marginal for me

Keep easily passes
WP:GNG. It's a professional tournament which was significantly covered throughout the week and a half it ran in places like the Chronicle
[1].

"It's a professional tournament" isn't a reason to keep this. Coverage of a match like
[2] is just
WP:ROUTINE.

Keep Coverage from Zimbabwean newspapers. Cursory google shows international coverage from
The Indian Express,
Sportskeeda and
india.com, none of which are exactly small sites and shows significant coverage both inside and outwith Zimbabwe.

I think we should have this article merged into the Zim Afro T10 article, and as more seasons get played, have them integrated into the article. --WellThisIsTheReaperGrim 16:52, 2 August 2023 (UTC)reply
Delete. Fails
WP:GNG. Would be good to have less encyclopedic nonsense like these articles.

Keep: It received considerable coverage in newspapers in Zimbabwe, India and even Bangladesh. ≈ MS Sakib «TalK» 01:45, 9 August 2023 (UTC)reply
