Abu Dhabi Knight Riders

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

There are not enough independent citations to warrant a standalone article. Fails WP:NSPORT. Consider a deletion or redirect it to International League T20, or merge with Kolkata Knight Riders. Charlie (talk) 02:46, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

 * Speedy keep. The nominator appears not to understand that sources do not need to be present in the article for notability to be established. Either that, or WP:BEFORE was not followed. In any case, the subject easily passes WP:GNG. StAnselm (talk) 03:15, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
 * @StAnselm with all due respect and assuming good faith; Source 1 is just an a acquisition news. Whereas, the sources 2 and 3 are all about the notability of an athlete (or a coach) that does not imply the notability of a team or club. Ref: WP:NTEAM. As I have said at the Gulf Giants' AfD nomination - I am not rejecting your reasoning or logic, but I think there's a strong requirement for credible sources that meet the standards of significant coverage and depth set by the following Wikipedia guidelines - WP:SIGCOV and WP:ORGDEPTH, respectively. As it stands, the topic seems premature for Wikipedia inclusion i.e., WP:TOOSOON, though I am receptive to further information meeting WP:HEY. Charlie (talk) 05:40, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep Enough coverage coming up on a simple search to suggest that there will be plenty of WP:SIGCOV with a more detailed search. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 10:44, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
 * There's almost certainly enough sourcing and I'm surprised that a tonne of detail hasn't already been added to the article. As it stands there's very little here and I'm not sure if anyone would notice if it were redirected. That might be an option in the future, but at AfD it's probably a keep based on sources existing Blue Square Thing (talk) 06:55, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep: How is this even a thing? MaskedSinger (talk) 11:51, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. Plainly notable per sources. Desertarun (talk) 22:16, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep For the reasons given above. Bs1jac (talk) 09:30, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
