Baltic Hockey League

 * – ( View AfD View log )

I have not been able to find a single trace of this hockey league, and am wondering whether it actually exists. The article's creator has created at least two other articles which were blatant hoaxes. It is also rather difficult to find any verification for the existence of the teams which are supposedly competing in the league. And finally, the "references" are obviously nonsensical; if the books in question exist at all they are clearly irrelevant to the subject. bonadea contributions talk 16:34, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I see there's an article of Baltic League (ice hockey). Maybe it's alive again or something like that. Pelmeen10 (talk) 16:51, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, that's definitely possible. A league for teams from the Baltic states is not at all an unlikely thing -- it's just that I'm unable to find any sign of its existence. But I would be more than happy to be proven wrong! --bonadea contributions talk 18:11, 10 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete Its a hoax as none of the things its mentioning exist. -DJSasso (talk) 19:32, 10 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete One of the references is over 100 years old, another is almost 50 years old.  I've read a copy of Trail of the Stanley Cup and don't remember much about the Baltic states in it.  As DJ says, it's a hoax.  Patken4 (talk) 21:05, 10 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment I found references to an existence of an amateur hockey league in Latvia called the Baltic Beaster Hockey League see here and even a team that plays in it.  I have no grasp of Latvian though and am doubtful that an article could be made out of the two brief game reports that would pass GNG.  But most definitely that league is not the one purported to exist in this article, and thus my vote is for delete. Ravendrop 01:03, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete as per above. -- Edgars2007  (Talk/Contributions) 15:01, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete: per WP:HOAX and WP:BULLSHIT. I own two of the references, which needless to say contain nothing about this so-called league, alleged to be created after their publication dates.  A glance at the article's creator reveals that this is at least the third hoax article he's created in a few weeks, which so far has comprised his sole Wikipedia activity, and sanction as a vandalism-only account should be considered.

 * Delete Appears to be a hoax. I've found nothing on the net about a new Baltic League. --Hockeyben (talk) 17:38, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete per above. -- Joaquin008  ( talk ) 13:12, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. Whether or not it is a hoax, I can't find RS support of it passing our notability guidelines.--Epeefleche (talk) 07:06, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
