2013 University of Alabama football scandal

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I have nominated this article for deletion. At present there isn't enough infomration to warrant an entire article. There is a section on most teams main page where NCAA violations or allegation of violations are detailed. If the allegations lead to an investigation and major sanctions follow it could warrant it's own article at that time perhaps. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zaqwert (talk • contribs)


 * Delete - Much of this seems to fail general notability guidelines of significant coverage from multiple sources. This can be covered in summary form at Alabama Crimson Tide football as past "scandals" have been. -Fnlayson (talk) 17:16, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete as while there might be enough substance for a line or two in the season article there's too much speculation and conflation here for an independent article. - Dravecky (talk) 02:23, 1 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete looks like WP:ONEEVENT to me. Incorporate into other articles.--Paul McDonald (talk) 16:38, 1 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep A decent article can be harvested. There are enough sources including the NY Time. It has been cited. A definite keep.  This is a developing and evolving current event. DeusImperator (talk) 20:59, 1 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Which parts of the article are developing now? A Google search for articles on "Luther Davis" & Fluker only shows articles from Sept. 2013. -Fnlayson (talk) 22:47, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
