There’s a shortage of independent reliable sources on the page about the topic which show that the standards of inclusion per the WP:GNG. There’s nothing much I can find otherwise. JMWt (talk) 13:44, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Tennis and England. JMWt (talk) 13:44, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

as an ATD we could redirect to Wimbledon Championships where much of the content is replicated. My difficulty is that this could be misleading (Wimbledon is a place outside of the tennis championship) and it seems an unlikely search term. JMWt (talk) 13:50, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

• Keep - There is a lot here and this was a very popular radio broadcast. I listened to it in the evening for years and years. Perhaps it should be an all-encompassing article on Wimbledon on the radio? Now it's handled by "Wimbledon Radio." Fyunck(click) (talk) 07:30, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

  See WP:ILIKEIT, the decision to keep is based on coverage in independent reliable sources per the WP:GNG JMWt (talk) 09:01, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

• Keep - There are sufficient independent references although the article probably needs to be reduced in length to remove some of the unsourced material which is more than a decade out of date. Rillington (talk) 10:06, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
• Keep Sources 2&3 in the article seem to meet the WP:GNG with multiple paragraphs of independent coverage in each, combined with [[1]] I think there is enough to meet the notability guidelines. Some cleanup is needed but WP:AFDISNOTCLEANUP. Let'srun (talk) 18:49, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
• Keep: This was a huge deal back in the day. The topic is pretty significant and well-covered, but it could use some cleanup to bring it up to date. Waqar💬 17:05, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
