Moved from other location
OK. I have major conflicts with the sourcing of the 1984 Bundaberg Australian Football League Premiers. I have the Grand Final report in the Bundaberg News Mail on 3 September 1984 which quotes the Hervey Bay side as "Urangan". In the Hervey Bay Observer dated 5 September 1984, it clearly states Hervey Bay Seahawks as the Premiers, which is the same team as 1982 and 1983. Wikipedia insists it is Urunga. That is a New South Wales town and is incorrect. Someone incorrectly listed this in a future edition of the Bundaberg News Mail, but wont state the date of the edition. The writer of the article is wrong. In various websites, including the Bundaberg/Wide Bay AFL website, it lists Hervey Bay as the 1984 Premiers. The Hervey Bay Australian Rules Football Club lists that it won the title in 1984, as it did in 1982 and 1983, to make it 3 in a row. The only website that does not is Wikipedia. I have sourced many newspapers and am willing to accept the winner as: Urangan (Hervey Bay AFC). Please let the true facts be included, as many club members and associates from other clubs are laughing at the "Wiki" site and treat the content as a joke. I have spent 34 hours searching microfilm at the State Library in Queensland, and have tried to change it to the correct status, only to have someone change it back. Please email me, whoever reads this: [email address removed] I will supply my mobile to talk about it if you like.

 * Firstly, you have placed the conversation on the wrong talk page. This talk page is the one that this conversation should be taking place on.
 * Second, the News Mail is a daily newspaper. You admit to there being a clash of information, but if there is a clash, the more reliable source prevails. As the News Mail is a daily and the Observer is not, the default source is the News Mail. Whilst the date may not be present, you have equally failed to cite the source correctly.
 * I am going to do my own investigation on this as I have some research to do on that year of that league anyway. I have a suspicion, and I will be pursuing it. That is that Urangan and the Hervey Bay Hawks in 1985 are the same club. Clubs do have a habit of hiding problems in their history, but I have to confirm it. 58.171.131.7 (talk) 04:52, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

It's Urunga. You must have read that wrong. Can't be helped if the name is also the name of a town in New South Wales. I know what I saw. Not only that, the league is a more reliable source than the club and the league would be been responsible for the contributions to the Bundaberg News Mail as that is where the league was based. All other locations are wrong and when 58 comes back I'm certain it will be confirmed. The idea that Urunga were the Hervey Bay Hawks in 1985 makes sense. 60.230.8.53 (talk) 02:39, 17 October 2010 (UTC)


 * No, bud, I have now examined the News Mail (that's me with the 58 above) and it's definitely Urangan. I have now sourced what happened and added it to the article. Internal issues were mentioned and here's the exact quote; BAFL officials are hopeful Hervey Bay is over internal problems which caused the reigning premier to forfeit last week's first round match. It was clarified later in the year with this; The Bay team became Urangan this season after initial attempts to form two clubs in the area. Put the two together and it suggests a folding and resurrection. They got the two clubs in 1985. I couldn't confirm if Urangan and Hervey Bay Hawks were the same club or not, but Urangan were never referred to as the Seahawks, Hawks or Bombers. Just "The Bay". This should put the matter to rest once and for all. Footy Freak7 (talk) 09:55, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
 * A couple more points for the rash of recent edits. Any clubs that played no more than a few games (ie Burnett Heads in 87 allegedly and Maryborough in 2000) have the games scrubbed and are not considered part of the end of season ladder. The reserve grade (except where noted) is not notable so it should not be mentioned at all. Also, there is no record of what guernsey Urangan wore in verifiable sources - and if they had you would have thought the News Mail would have called them the Seahawks. But they didn't (as sourced above). I will say though, thanks for the correction to 2002. That slipped by me. Footy Freak7 (talk) 06:48, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Some people can't read. Hopefully the edit summaries will help. Additionally, there is NO record of Gympie playing in the BWB comp in 1989. Footy Freak7 (talk) 23:01, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
 * The incorrect cites made by Antpatto were misprints incidentally on the information I have (re Gympie). Adding 1983 to the first paragraph is bad grammar because 1983 is mentioned in the next paragrapg and must therefore be kept seperate. Footy Freak7 (talk) 01:58, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

Changes
There was a plethora of non notable material in the AFL Wide Bay section that needed to be removed. If the league is notable a seperate article would be needed. This article is about the competitions in brief and there is no need for ladders and scores and so on. Both Antpatto44 and Footy Freak7 would have to demonstrate how this information is notable and why it shouldn't be placed in a new article as AFL Cairns and AFL Capricornia already have. Ta. Dragonfire X (talk) 06:24, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

AFL Wide Bay
I have restored the consensus ruling of the AfD re this league as the new page hadn't provided any new material. In fact there were several comments that were controversial and lacked cites. It is poor form to completely ignore that AfD result without at the very least seeking comment on this talk page or through more formal channels. Footy Freak7 (talk) 08:12, 23 April 2013 (UTC)
