2010 basketball referee battery

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Disputed speedy templates, a single event that is far from being encyclopedic or notable. There's no way it meets the general notability guideline. It might be worth including a sentence in the DeSoto County High School article if it gets written. tedder (talk) 23:49, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. I hadn't heard about it - consequently I don't think it's such big news. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 23:57, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete, non-notable single event. Wikipedia is not the news. Strange Passerby (talk • contribs) 01:50, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. WP:NOTNEWS. Jrcla2 (talk) 02:19, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, wildly non-notable. Hairhorn (talk) 03:09, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Sounds quite non-notable, single event. DARTH SIDIOUS 2 (Contact) 14:15, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment The user who marked the page for speedy deletion was clearly doing so in bad faith (note the edit summary: "That is what we are supposed to do to new articles"); that user also added fake block templates to my and others' talk pages (at, , , and ).  I would not be opposed to transwiki to WikiNews.  RJaguar3 &#124;  u  &#124;  t  15:07, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete High school kid gets mad and shoves a referee. Historic!  Mandsford 15:53, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Something that only gets the shut-ins watching the line of 'country going down the drain, now comment on Facebook why it is' stories on HLN afternoons excited. Ref gets shoved, player will probably get kicked off the team, life goes on. Not news and not even that exciting at all.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 10:37, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - clearly not a notable event. I'm surprised that even the most parochial of local news broadcasts would bother with a "story" like this -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:54, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete and G7 as author per reasons above. I am now convinced by the previous editors' opinions about this article and WP:NOT.  RJaguar3 &#124;  u  &#124;  t  16:38, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
