Adelaide Sharks
Article is about a future Australian basketball franchise. While this would normally be enough for inclusion, the team is only proposed, and there are no references at all to prove that this is anything more than just a proposal.fuzzy510 07:02, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Comment. There has been one article in the Australian media about the basketball club namely a front page story in the Adelaide Advertiser which states "MVP Sports will look to press on with the formation of a second Adelaide license.MVP already has registered "Adelaide Sharks" as a potential franchise name after spending almost 18 months in the ultimately vain pursuit of securing the 36ers' license." The basketball team is a bit crystal-ballish at the moment. However, there was a soccer club of that name who seem notable. They played in the National League with Stan Lazaridis and John Kosmina playing for them. I would support keeping an article on the soccer club. Capitalistroadster 12:03, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
