based almost entirely on its own publications when it's sourced at all. (I made an attempt to fix it by removing the worst section--see page history--but I think its hopeless) . DGG ( talk ) 23:18, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
- Comment. I agree that the article is not currently well-sourced, but there are better sources out there; see [1], [2], and [3], for example. I'm not recommending "keep" yet, but I think the supporters of this article may be able to improve it enough to get it kept. (By the way, the section that DGG removed was indeed worthy of removal. This article is about an intellectual competition, yet nearly a quarter of the article had been about the regulation of commemorative pin trading among the participants.) -- Metropolitan90 (talk) 01:51, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

- Keep AfD is not cleanup. This certainly needs cleanup, but there are sources, coverage like [4] [5] [6] should be enough for GNG. User:力 (power~enwiki, π, ν) 18:57, 23 July 2021 (UTC)

- comment The three references above are all articles in local or regional newspapers about individual local teams who are entering the competition. The Orlando one gives only 2 sentences to the competition itself, and then describes extensively the resentation being prepared by the students The othets are similar. Such coverage is indicriminate.
