The article, as written, is about a particular Malaysian speed typing contest, not about speed typing contests in general. The particular speed typing contest described appears to fail WP:GNG. The only reference given that qualifies as a reliable source actually describes a NORWEGIAN speed typing contest. The other sources give do not qualify as reliable sources. The article needs to be fundamentally rewritten to describe speed typing contests in general, not this specific non notable contest. As it stands right now, Delete for failure to meet WP:GNG.

  • Strong keep - Very fast nomination minutes after I declined the prod and began to rewrite the article from a topic-centric point of view. I'm still working on the article. Several references have been added, and this topic easily passes WP:GNG. The policies WP:FIXTHEPROBLEM, WP:PRESERVE and WP:ATD clearly supersede outright deletion in this case.

  • Strong keep - Speed typing contests have been around since the 1880s. There are hundreds of books available that talk about this. WP:N out the wazoo. The current article seems to be centered on one Malaysian contest and will need to be expanded, but there's no reason to delete.
