:({{Find sources AFD|title=West Superior Invitation}})

No indication of notability, sources are not independent, passing mentions or database entries (which don't support much of what they are used for in the article anyway[https://www.tennisarchives.com/tournament/?t=6493&n=West%20Superior%20Lawn%20Tennis%20Club%20Invitation%20amateur]). No indepth independent reliable sources about the tournament found. Fram (talk) 11:23, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

• Keep, it says the Tennis Archives have been cited—they can't lie! Delete per nom unless significant coverage turns up, in which case ping me. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 12:10, 23 January 2025 (UTC)
• Keep - why would we get rid of this sourced tournament just because they didn't write up 1000 sources like they do today? Fyunck(click) (talk) 09:29, 25 January 2025 (UTC)
• Because there are countless non-notable sporting events every day, and long-established consensus is that we only should have articles on the ones where there are indepth secondary sources? If they didn't write up these sources then, and no one has done since then, then it isn't notable. Fram (talk) 09:19, 27 January 2025 (UTC)

• Keep - as stated before this event was an officially sanctioned tournament of the USNLTA at this time in the late 19th century only 30 maybe 35 events were held in contrast to today where the USTA sanctions thousands of events therefore it's historically important to create a sourced and referenced record of it as far as I'm concerned the 1897 winner of this event was a singles semi finalist at the 1898 U.S. National Championships – Men's singles also notable enough.
