Contested PROD. There is nothing here to suggest notability of this tournament. There are certainly a lot of famous names as winners, but notability is not inherited. The Dunlop Orange Bowl for 16-and-under and 18-and-under is certainly notable, but not this tournament. StAnselm (talk) 00:11, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

My understanding is that the Junior Orange Bowl was renamed at some point as the Dunlop Orange Bowl. The Junior Orange Bowl should probably be merged into the Dunlop Orange Bowl since the past champions sections in both is not complete. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rnr7144 (talkcontribs) 23:27, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

::That's likely not true, and even if it were, since 1962 these have been clearly two separate tournaments that today go by these two different names (though it is confusing that the Dunlop Orange Bowl is a junior tournament and the Junior Orange Bowl is a youth one). Along the lines of this suggestion though, I think the past winners list for the Dunlop Orange Bowl should most likely include the prior to 1962 champions for U-13, particularly if this nominated page is deleted.

  • Keep and improve. This is the leading tournament in the world for under-14s. I know that, and I'm neither American nor a tennis fan, just a British general sports fan. Alex Middleton (talk) 00:07, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

  • Delete: As nominator said, notability is not inherited. Even if there are elite players names connected to it, but still tournament itself is not notable enough. — Bill william comptonTalk 03:16, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
