Akron Quakers

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This article was originally tagged for AFD by User:Oo7565 but twinkle seems to have messed up the nom and it was never completed, so I'm just finishing the job. Anyway, this article is about a basketball team/franchise that never played a game and does not seem notable enough for it's own article. Google news only returns 3 news articles (one of which is actually about wikipedia), which does not satisfy the general notability guideline. ascidian | talk-to-me  13:44, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge/Redirect This seems interesting to me, but it looks like there's never going to be more sourceable material for a paragraph or two...how about creating a single page for all these teams and redirect? Maybe start by merging to Akron Cougars; there are 5:  news sources that cropped up for them.  I found only one source:  for Akron Energy.  It seems though, that the teams collectively form a notable phenomenon that we would be able to write a fairly full article on.  Cazort (talk) 13:55, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, team never even existed. If there's an appropriate merge target, then merging is OK too. Stifle (talk) 09:56, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete for the same reason my failed proposal to get rich jackalope ranching doesn't merit an encyclopedia article.Bali ultimate (talk) 23:47, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
