this article is about 13 months old and orphaned almost as long. It asserts that the team is all star but doesn't list them or reference sources that could back up that assertion. If it was truly an all star team, the author would have lots more to say than a few sentences but he hasn't; there would be thousands if not millions of news reports to back up what he says, but none are listed; and like truly all star teams like the NY Yankees, there would be links to the team. I see none of this here. Postcard Cathy 19:35, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. While the term 'all-star team' may indicate that the team is made up of 'stars' from other teams, thus making that the correct term, this article still violates WP:V & WP:N. Maintainerzero 19:58, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * True, I thought of that. But the point is still the same: We don't know who the team members are so we don't know if it is used that way or the fact that their team is just stellar!  Postcard Cathy 21:21, 31 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete. This even seems made up. Google has only Wikipedia spawned information to offer. Our article on Anil Kumble doesn't mention this club, which I would consider a major omission, if such a club ever existed. Now, even if this club exists, it is certainly not notable. --Merzul 22:37, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete No mention from reliable sources about this team on the search engine. Hence it's not notable. Had it really played against another team, it could have been listed on an Indian sports newspaper, but it isn't.--Kylohk 15:34, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
