Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2012 Celebrity Cricket League
sort of. I believe this tournament meets the |general notability guideline, but perhaps it should be moved to simply Celebrity Cricket League and incorporate last year's tournament as well. There is substantial coverage in major Indian newspapers, as can be seen by a simple google news search. I'll list a few here (but note that there are many more): '''(1)''' http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-12-21/bollywood/30538663_1_boney-kapoor-ramp-sridevi "Celebrity Cricket League gets hotter", ''The Times of India''; '''(2)''' http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-06-04/news-interviews/29617715_1_bollywood-and-cricket-indian-entertainment-industry-ccl "Celebrity Cricket League excites Salman", ''The Times of India''; '''(3)''' http://www.thehindu.com/life-and-style/metroplus/article2073852.ece "After IPL, it's CCL!", ''The Hindu''; '''(4)''' http://www.indianexpress.com/news/Cinema-Meets-Cricket/799153/ "Cinema Meets Cricket", ''Indian Express''; '''(5)''' http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-06-07/bollywood/29629193_1_mumbai-heroes-ccl-ambassadors "Celebrity Cricket League held in Bangalore", ''The Times of India''; '''(6)''' http://www.deccanherald.com/content/166684/a-feast-eyes.html "A feast for the eyes", ''Deccan Herald''; '''(7)''' http://www.khaleejtimes.com/DisplayArticle08.asp?xfile=data/theuae/2011/November/theuae_November324.xml&section=theuae "Cricket’s coming home", ''Khaleej Times''; '''(8)''' http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/salmans-cricket-league-hotties/1/166028.html "Salman's Celebrity Cricket League gets hotter", ''India Today''; '''(9)''' http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/article1512946.ece "Cricket passion rides high as stars take to the pitch", ''The Hindu''; '''(10)''' http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-06-10/news-interviews/29642395_1_ccl-star-wars-vizag "The cricket star wars get hotter", ''The Times of India''; '''(11)''' http://www.thehindu.com/sport/article2090676.ece "Greasepaint to gloves", ''The Hindu''; '''(12)''' http://www.thehindu.com/life-and-style/metroplus/article2093886.ece "Celebs day out", ''The Hindu''; '''(13)''' http://www.deccanherald.com/content/167808/cheers-exceptional-performance.html "Cheers to an exceptional performance", ''Deccan Herald''; '''(14)''' http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2010-12-21/news-interviews/28268623_1_probables-list-cricket-team-suriya "K-town puts on its game face", ''The Times of India''; '''(15)''' http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-11-28/news-interviews/30449831_1_celebrity-cricket-league-boney-kapoor-joy "Joy's game for cricket", ''The Times of India''. Those are all from the first page of my google news archive search (it's worth noting that some of those article are about the 2011 tournament because I was looking in the archive and the 2012 tournament only started three days ago). To refute some of the above points, I don't think anyone would claim that it's the quality of cricket that makes it notable (i.e. the fact that it doesn't pass  is irrelevant), but rather that it's notable because it has |significant coverage in independent reliable sources. In addition, it has major crowds (some matches are even being played at Eden Gardens) and is being broadcast on an international television network, Sahara One (http://media247.co.uk/bizasia/newsarchive/2012/01/sahara_one_to_a_3.php ref
