Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Heartland Trophy
Two problems.  1) No subject is ever ''a priori'' notable merely for belonging to a category.  |Notability is applied on a case-by-case basis, and it only exists for a subject if MULTIPLE, THIRD PARTY, RELIABLE SOURCES can be used to add NON TRIVIAL information to the article.  If such sources do not exist, the subject is non-notable, regardless of what arbitrary category it belongs to.  So the arguement ''All XXXX are notable'' means nothing and adds nothing to the AfD.  What the closing admin needs is ''evidence'' that back up ''this article's'' notability.  2) Utility is NOT a criteria for keeping an article.  The Yellow Pages are VERY useful as well, but I cannot create an article about "Jim's Plumbing" merely because plumbers are useful to know about, and his address is published in the Yellow Pages
