As I stated earlier on the WikiProject Golf talkpage, this article strikes me as an obvious example of WP:OR and "synthesis." While a number of reliable third-party sources are used, I believe they have been "synthesized" to create an entirely new, "original" page. From my research, I have not found anything on the internet that could be used as direct source for this article. In addition, the author of List of Canadian winners on the PGA and LPGA Tours has yet to provide one.
I would like to hear opinions from other members below.
Thanks,

- Comment. The verdict should also apply to List of Swedish professional golfers, which has similar criteria. Clarityfiend (talk) 23:09, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
- Comment. I firmly agree. I brought up List of Swedish professional golfers earlier this year on the talk page suggesting it should be deleted. That proposal was rejected in favor of "improving" the page. I did some edits on the page as did others but I still don't think those edits changed the OR flavor of the page, even remotely. I maintain the position that it should be deleted. Oogglywoogly (talk) 01:03, 13 December 2021 (UTC)Oogglywoogly
- Disagree since the criteria of that list are not the same as those here; in other words, this is not List of Canadian professional golfers. Note: this comment should in no way be read as an endorsement of the Swedish pro golfers list or advocating creation of a Canadian (or any other nationality) one. wjematherplease leave a message... 13:23, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
- @wjemather: I guess you are technically right. There are small differences between these pages therefore this verdict should not apply elsewhere. However, I will create a proposal to delete List of Swedish professional golfers after discussion is closed here. Oogglywoogly (talk) 04:14, 15 December 2021 (UTC)Oogglywoogly

- Delete. Fails WP:LISTN due to an apparent lack of independent coverage of either of these intersections (Canadians and PGA Tour winners, and Canadians and LPGA Tour winners); WP:NOT (non-encyclopedic cross-categorizations and WP:NOTSTATS) is also of relevance here. wjematherplease leave a message... 13:15, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

- Delete. Fails WP:LISTN. Media guide notes the PGA winners, but otherwise no significant coverage of the topic. Nigej (talk) 06:50, 21 December 2021 (UTC)
