2009 Founders Cup playoffs

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Unsourced. Trivial and non-notable. Fails WP:GNG. Also see WP:SPORTCRIT. Full of redlinks and broken templates. Created as part of a large swath of pages by a single user who has since left. Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 02:28, 5 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep Very standard season article for a professional sports league. -DJSasso (talk) 16:46, 5 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Nobody has put the league itself,or even this cup, up for deletion. The question is not whether the league or cup is notable. It is whether this specific set of play-offs is notable enough for its own article. --DanielRigal (talk) 14:02, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete as unreferenced and probably non-notable sportscruft. I am not seeing Google News hits to suggest it is notable. Given that the media can't get enough of low level sports trivia, I'd expect to see some passing mentions even if this were not notable. Maybe I was not searching exactly the right thing, so I'm not saying that there is definitely nothing to be found, but the lack of anything obvious is enough to suggest it is not going to support its own article. If anything here is notable, reliably referenceable (and not already covered) then I guess it could be merged to Founders Cup (PIHA) (which is also an unreferenced article in need of much work although not an obviously a deletion candidate to my eyes). --DanielRigal (talk) 14:03, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete. Per nom. The main article, Founders Cup (PIHA) was an uncontested prod. If that's not notable, then a specific season of that should most certainly not have a stand alone article. GauchoDude (talk) 20:15, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
