173.79.35.118 (talk) 17:00, 19 April 2018 (UTC)Technically speaking, the Quad City Mallards are still a team. The 2017-18 ECHL season is still on-going in the eyes of the league. It's a minor quibble and figured that it was best to bring up in the talk page rather than directly revert it back for another couple of weeks.
 * The team is not operating anymore, regardless of the league. Hence, the team is dead but are still league members until June when the league season changes over, which is really just a technicality. Most encyclopedic is that the team is no longer in operations, therefore, it is in past tense. Yosemiter (talk) 17:16, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
 * The team is still operating. They just finished their equipment sale and still have paperwork to file with the league. They're in the process of closing down operations, but haven't completed it. Like I said initially, it's a minor technicality. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.79.35.118 (talk) 12:01, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
 * The organization may be "operating" (which in this case is shut down operations and clean up), but the team (the players, coaches, etc.) is not. This is how ice hockey is treated on wikipedia for years, the team takes precedence over the organization or franchise license as that is the more notable part of the entity. This is also how we have done it for every other team in the past. Yosemiter (talk) 12:36, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
 * And I've been arguing it for over a decade now. There's a reason I stopped contributing long ago.173.79.35.118 (talk) 16:16, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
