Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Quizbowl
I was the nominator of the National Academic Championship's deletion.  I spent 3-4 months searching for sources ... I even looked in the archives of the Chicago Sun-Times (the tournament routinely used Chicago as a host city), and could find no articles directly addressing the NAC (I found some articles noting winners, but that does not meet ).  There ''are'' sources for quizbowl out there.  I will admit that the article is not well written, and could use sourcing and cleanup, but there are sources, and it could be cleaned up.  As I recall, Ken Jennings wrote a book that addressed quizbowl and its community (just for starters) ... I note that the nominator of this article has only been with wikipedia briefly under this user name;  could there be an elaboration on how long a search for sourcing has been ongoing, because I am a bit concerned that my words are being twisted to support a deletion that it should not?  Is an article becoming a battleground for COI a reason to delete?  Protect, delete unreferenced material ... sure ... but delete ... no
