Per WP:NOTDATABASE. Fails WP:GNG. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 00:51, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
- Keep. It makes no sense to pick one of all the sports under Category:Sports at the Maccabiah Games. This needs a general discussion for all the aports there. --Florentyna (talk) 04:33, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

- Keep as article author. I was under the impression that individual sports at international multi-sports events regularly had their own pages. The Maccabiah Games are among the largest sporting events in the world, and WP has ample pages for sports at other smaller events (2019 European Games for example) - not to say WP:WHATABOUT, but I think that if there are questions to be brought about these sort of pages, we should have a wider discussion about what we include on WP rather than pick off individual articles. In terms of the arguments brought up here, I don't personally think they hold much weight. I don't see anything at WP:NOTDATABASE to suggest that this wouldn't be a viable article type (I don't think it comes under Excessive listings of unexplained statistics - let me know if I'm missing something obvious though), and IMO it has enough references to verify everything there to a good enough standard.

- Keep, the Maccabiah is major event that is covered by media.Researcher (Hebrew: חוקרת) (talk) 19:48, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
- Delete. The Maccabiah is definitely an event of importance. Enough not only for its own article but also for edition articles and for multi-year summaries per sport. On the other hand, it is not important enough for articles per sport per Maccabiah or per delegation per Maccabiah. Still, the medal count table in the AfDd is a legitimate addition to the empty medal count header in the 2022 Maccabiah Games article, under a sub-header badminton. So suggesting a bit of merge as well. Per sports discussion should also appear in the individual Maccabiah articles. The immediate problem here is premature WP:SPINOFF/WP:SPINOUT. As pointed out by nom, the WP:GNG is not (clearly) met for the minor sports but this would allow to preserve all major ones. In my book, all these articles need to go. gidonb (talk) 04:14, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
- Keep Per Florentyna. We should decide on an approach and then restructure information of a given multi-sport event as desired. But we shouldn't have gaps in our coverage because one article got nominated for deletion and the one next to it didn't. Simeon (talk) 10:53, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
