ACC 50th Anniversary men's basketball team

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This article contains one (1) source, which is an archived link to a press release from the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). Much of the text of the article appears to have been copied and pasted from that source. I see little in the way of secondary source data on the topic. This topic is not notable enough for its own Wikipedia page. I have, however, moved some of the information from the article to the Atlantic Coast Conference men's basketball page.

 * Delete - I created the article way back when I started on Wikipedia ten years ago. It seemed like a good idea at the time, and I didn’t have much experience writing/sourcing article. I think the information has some historical value, but buy the argument that it doesn’t warrant a stand alone article. As an aside, I should have been notified as the article creator that this AfD was taking place. That would have been standard courtesy. Rikster2 (talk) 13:07, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep Meets WP:LISTN, having "been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources". The team was named in 2002, yet the group is still referenced years later in sources including MyFox8.com, 2018, The Herald Sun, 2017, The Daily Progress, 2017, and Complex, 2013. There is also mention in books (snippets included from Google Books) such as Blue Ribbon College Basketball Forecast. 2002. p. 80 ("The ACC celebrates its 50th anniversary next May, an event being commemorated in all sports through the 2002-03 school year. The basketball team, which was announced in mid-September, included a Hall of Fame lineup of players from ..."), Legends of N.C. State Basketball. 2015. ("Voters for the ACC's 50th anniversary basketball team had a tough task. The league has produced some of the most sensational players from some of the top teams in NCAA history."), Golden glory: the first 50 years of the ACC. 2002. p. 66 ("Heyman, a member ot the ACC's 50th anniversary team, averaged 25.1 points during his career.").—Bagumba (talk) 16:59, 4 October 2018 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep though I'm not opposed to a redirect (as the merge has been done) to Atlantic Coast Conference men's basketball. Seems to be enough coverage for notability. power~enwiki ( π,  ν ) 00:08, 12 October 2018 (UTC)
 *  Still delete. Comment  I have put all the information from this page onto the Atlantic Coast Conference men's basketball page. I am glad someone found some sources; I couldn't. However, even though there are a few sources, I still don't believe a separate Wikipedia page is warranted. SunCrow (talk) 10:20, 12 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment - You do not have to reiterate your Delete !vote, it is assumed since you nominated the page. These kinds of rebuttals should be labeled Comment or leave it unlabeled. Rikster2 (talk) 10:31, 12 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Ambox warning pn.svg Per WP:DISCUSSAFD, nominator should generally not !vote delete again.—Bagumba (talk) 10:33, 12 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Undid copying I also removed the copying of the full text to Atlantic Coast Conference men's basketball. It's against the spirit of an ongoing AfD, not to mention WP:COPYWITHIN was not followed.—Bagumba (talk) 10:48, 12 October 2018 (UTC)
