Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Celebrity Cricket League
I understand this !vote comes late in the AfD and that, at the moment it would appear to be a clear delete outcome. However, this tournament clearly meets the |general notability guideline (GNG). A simple google news search (not even the archive) for "Celebrity Cricket League" gives 60 results, many of which are enough to be the significant coverage in independent reliable sources that the GNG requires. Some examples include, ''The Times of India'' (http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/filmi-parties/bollywood/Celebrity-Cricket-League-held-in-Bangalore/articleshow/8746501.cms 1, http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-06-01/news-interviews/29603792_1_paisa-vasool-practise-ranji-player 2, http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-05-26/news-interviews/29585678_1_cricket-craze-ccl-big-cricket 3, http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-05-25/bangalore/29581009_1_film-fraternity-kannada-film-industry-karnataka-film-chamber 4, http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-05-27/news-interviews/29591133_1_film-rana-daggubati-suniel-shetty 5), ''Deccan Herald'' (http://www.deccanherald.com/content/166893/giving-his-shot.html 1,  http://www.deccanherald.com/content/165392/unlimited-fun-spectators.html 2, http://www.deccanherald.com/content/164240/gear-up-some-celebrity-action.html 3, http://www.deccanherald.com/content/166051/celeb-cricket-league-not-nice.html 4), ''The Indian Express'' (http://www.indianexpress.com/news/Cinema-Meets-Cricket/799153/ 1), ''The Deccan Chronicle'' (http://www.deccanchronicle.com/tabloid/glam-sham/truly-madly-su-deeply-561 1, http://www.deccanchronicle.com/tabloid/hyderabad/stars-stumps-776 2) and ''The Hindu'' (http://www.thehindu.com/life-and-style/metroplus/article2067889.ece 1). These are all from the first page of my google news search, so even more coverage than that could easily be found. To the comments above about not meeting , that may very well be true, but CRIN is inclusive, not exclusive, and meeting the GNG proves notability. As to the comments about not being notable outside of India, that has never been a notability criteria (although it would be easy to argue that being notable in a country of 1.2 billion people is enough even if that were true). As to the  comment, this tournament is verifiably occurring ''right now'', so I'm unsure how CRYSTAL applies at all
