Event Notability and Content Written as Advertisement

@Wumbolo: Will you kindly clarify, please, how comes that similarly written articles about similar (but smaller in scope), programming competitions (Facebook Hacker Cup, Google Code Jam), also organized by commercial companies (Facebook and Google), do meet notability criteria, and are not considered as an advertisement, and for this article you believe it is a problem? Note that those two articles are written even without any references on the information sources at all! FYI, Wiki also contains articles about some of the most successful competitors in these tournaments (e.g. Gennady Korotkevich, Petr Mitrichev, pl:Tomasz Czajka).

Going a step beyond of mistic world of competitive programming and software development tournaments, say Show Jumping World Championships article: does not have any references, does not explain me what is the notability of the event, and what is it all about. I believe, the same applies to Wikipedia articles about most of reccuring sport events, beside the most popular football, baseball, etc.

Will you, please, add notability problems and advertisement content templates to those and other similar articles? Otherwise, please consider to remove them from the Topcoder Open one. Birdofpreyru (talk) 09:57, 28 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
