Draft talk:World Benchrest Championship

@Gurkubondinn: I'd like to address both points raised in the decline.

Regarding the LLM flag: this draft was not generated by a large language model - it was researched and written by hand over several days using primary and secondary sources. Happy to discuss any specific concerns you may have regarding the writing.

Regarding notability: the draft cites independent, reliable sources with editorial oversight including CTV News, the Grand Forks Herald, the Otago Daily Times, The Outdoor Wire, and GUNS Magazine. These provide significant coverage of the championship, not just passing mentions. The World Benchrest Championship has been held 17 times over 30+ years, is organised by a governing body representing 35 member countries and has drawn international press coverage across multiple editions.

Furthermore, the World Benchrest Shooting Federation article which describes the governing body contains no mention of the actual championship it was created to administer. The draft I've submitted would help fill that gap while also providing a natural link target for the federation article. Other international shooting sport governing bodies on Wikipedia such as the International Shooting Sport Federation have corresponding articles for their major competitions.

Could you clarify which specific notability criteria you believe are unmet? I'd like to address any remaining gaps. Eraeyyc (talk) 09:20, 1 April 2026 (UTC)

The criteria of being human-written. For starters, it cites sources that do not exist. --Gurkubondinn (talk) 09:24, 1 April 2026 (UTC)

@Gurkubondinn:Interesting, as the article was written by me, so I am confused as to what made you come to the conclusion that it is not human-written. I've also verified every single source that is used (twice), and they are all live links, to real articles - at least three of which are independent and reputable sources, with editorial guidance. Could you please identify which specific source you believe "does not exist?" Thanks for clarifying. Eraeyyc (talk) 09:39, 1 April 2026 (UTC)
