PROD removed with the reason of "good known tournament, plz start a full discussion." I disagree, and believe the original PROD rationale of "non-notable friendly competition, not significantly covered in reliable sources" remains valid. GiantSnowman 12:57, 27 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Strong keep. No reason to delete this article. Big coverage in Russian media. Usual annual tournament with strong clubs participating (Real, Milan, PSV, Chelsea, Sevilla). Six interwikies. Similar notability as for other 2013 friendly tournaments. NickSt (talk) 16:13, 27 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - while the article itself doesn't establish notability, I believe that this tournament is on the same level as other friendly-tournaments like the Emirates Cup or the Amsterdam Tournament, and that this tournament should have received enough coverage in reliable sources to pass WP:GNG when looking at the teams that have participated.

• Delete Article does not meet GNG. Only link is to the official site which did not open for me anyway. Eldumpo (talk) 21:53, 9 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete – reason to keep has been offered as "no reason to delete", but per WP:BURDEN, the onus is on the contributor to prove notability, not on others to disprove it. Over two weeks have passed in this discussion without any such offering. The fact is that there is no evidence to suggest sufficient notability. C679 15:58, 19 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep article with six interwiki. 194.50.51.252 (talk) 17:24, 21 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
