Is this actually notable, in and of itself? Pesky (talk …stalk!) 11:05, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

~~Delete~~Merge per WP:SPORTSEVENT, WP:ROUTINE and also per WP:NSPORTS#Individual seasons which says "Wikipedia is not a stats directory." --Marc Kupper|talk 18:01, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
: Comment I need to think more about my delete. Wikipedia:WikiProject Tennis/Article Guidelines#Notability presumably reflects the consensus of wikiproject tennis and that allows for article pages for some qualifying rounds. This event and it's qualifying rounds seems to be a "keep" per that list. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2011 ASB Classic – Singles Qualifying is a closed AFD similar to this one. --Marc Kupper|talk 18:20, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
: ~~Keep~~ I thought about this some more and changed my delete to a keep based on Wikipedia:WikiProject Tennis/Article Guidelines#Notability. While I'd like to see the bright line moved so that we did not have individual Wikipedia articles for every ATP/WTA tournament, much less qualifying tournaments, the place to do that discussion is on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Tennis. --Marc Kupper|talk 18:58, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
: Merge - We tested a merge at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2011 Rogers Cup – Men's Singles Qualifying and people were happy with the results. I'm changing my thoughts on this AFD to be a merge done the same was as the other article. --Marc Kupper|talk 19:28, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Merge - Actually the guidelines say the tourney (including qualifiers) is notable. But there shouldn't be a separate page when it could easily be a new section on the bottom of the main page. Fyunck(click) (talk) 07:43, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
: Which guideline(s) says the tourney is notable? --Marc Kupper|talk 22:46, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
::It was part of the International Series Gold back then. Now it is an ATP 500 series event... about the equivalent. As for notability of ATP 500 events see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Tennis/Article_Guidelines#Notability Tennis Tourney Notability].
