The topic fails Wikipedia's notability guidelines and the article lacks reliable third party sources demonstrating its notability. The lone source in the article is from the event's governing body Holyfield1998 (talk) 17:20, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

- Keep, and expand to include the Junior World Championships that proceeded them. This is the highest level of competition for those in the under-19 age group. I stumbled across this article while looking for the right link to include when expanding Ricky Hatton, as articles from when he first rose to prominence mentioned his record in the Junior World Championships. Looking at "what links here" for the article, I see a significant number of notable boxers, such as Shane Mosley and Tyson Fury. Looking up the records of a couple of other big names, I see that people like Floyd Mayweather and Lennox Lewis also competed in these championships. With that calibre of participants, I have no doubt that someone who knew more than me about where to look for boxing sources would be able to source and expand this article with ease. I don't see why WP:SPORTSEVENT is being used above as an argument for deletion, it contains little of direct relevance. This is a world championships (albeit an age-limited one), not a local or regional one. Oldelpaso (talk) 18:29, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

- Keep and rename to AIBA Youth World Championships. -- The info I'm finding is 2010 Youth World Amateur Boxing Championships: [http://www.gazettelive.co.uk/north-east-sport/boxing-news/2010/04/28/surprise-defeat-for-shafiq-asif-84229-26333735/ Evening Gazette April 28, 2010], 2008 Youth World Amateur Boxing Championships: [http://www.indianexpress.com/news/tough-contest-expected-at-games-boxing-trials/673494 Indian Express August 28, 2010], [http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/more-sports/boxing/Samota-wins-his-fifth-consecutive-gold-at-nationals/articleshow/11061920.cms Times of India December 11, 2011]. However, there is significant information available under AIBA Youth World Championships.[http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2008-10-26/boxing/27945891_1_medallists-vijender-singh-lop-sided-contest], [http://www.africapulse.com/2012/11/05/rwanda-rwanda-yet-to-decide-on-aiba-youth-champs/], [http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-09-15/boxing/33862179_1_top-boxers-g-manoharan-senior-level]. The problem here isn't WP:GNG. It's Wikipedia:Article titles, which is an easy fix. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 09:05, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

- Keep It seems to me that Wikipedia:NSPORT#Individual_games_or_series suggests inherent notability for articles about individual years for top level championships. This article surpasses that bar (the restriction by age is similar to a restriction by nation) so verifiability is the main issue more than substantial coverage. Also, the large number of blue links in List of world cups and world championships for juniors and youth leading to substantive articles supports this position. The article's referencing should be improved (helpful suggestions above) but I do not think deletion is necessary or desirable because we have clear evidence that the championship exists.
