• Keep I think this would comfortably pass notability I did the most cursory of search not much on google news [http://fizmati.lv/zinas/citas_temas/piedalies_finasta_investment_game_2011/] but several websites like:

[http://www.nasdaqomxbaltic.com/en/exchange-information/about-us/press-center/riga?id=3793395]

it is more of an event than a game.Tetron76 (talk) 17:16, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

• Delete - No independent sourcing to show notability. The sources given by Tetron76, when translated, also look to be advertisements, press releases, and non independent. Yaksar (let's chat) 21:51, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
• Comment I made my response quickly and added the first link from google news which as pointed out would fail notability requirements.

The second source I gave above [http://www.nasdaqomxbaltic.com/en/exchange-information/about-us/press-center/riga?id=3793395] comes from the official NASDAQ OMX Group as proven to be genuine from the link on [http://www.nasdaqomx.com/listingcenter/balticmarket/].

This sources might well be considered not independent but its size and legitimacy strongly suggest "presumed sources" in Baltic language newspapers.

Several other sources I found come from Stockholm School of Economics in Riga which is not independent but did win an award in part for this event [http://www.sseriga.edu.lv/news/sse-riga-receives-special-award-its-contribution-development-baltic-stock-markets] but since the award came from NASDAQ OMX Baltic this is one big circle.

I think the following two sources are independent and count as RS to establish WP:GNG:

:*From The financial [http://www.finchannel.com/Main_News/Markets/62092_International_stock_market_simulation_%E2%80%9CInvestment_Game_2010%E2%80%9D_won_by_participant_from_Latvia/]

:*The second I am not 100% sure about meeting the requirement is from balticbusinessnews.com [http://www.balticbusinessnews.com/?PublicationId=56a254f5-7add-4d7b-af84-d5a181661ecc] by Marge Tubalkain-Trell who has had articles in the The Baltic Times [http://www.baltictimes.com/news/articles/21139/]

At worst this is a case of not just yetTetron76 (talk) 13:40, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
