California City Whiptails

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

In the absence of any references, and in view of the fact that this team is not yet playing, and is not in the MLB organization, does not appear to be notable. Robert McClenon (talk) 20:25, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

It is notable just as any other professional baseball team, regardless of affiliation with MLB. The team's website is listed. Jamesmiko (talk) 19:46, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - Does not meet notability criteria. A minor league team that has yet to take the field is not as notable "as any other professional baseball team". An organization's own website is irrelevant.--Rpclod (talk) 21:21, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment - If the purpose of keeping were to list the team's website, that would be WP:G11. However, we can consider this article on its merits and use AFD rather than CSD.  Robert McClenon (talk) 21:23, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Pecos League, where information about the team can be maintained until such point as the team itself becomes more notable. Spanneraol (talk) 21:32, 23 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Pecos League as Spanneraol suggests. Independent League teams are notoriously unstable, and there isn't any indication of notability yet.  If and when they actually put a team into play, then they can be re-created.  Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 17:05, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. I don't see how we can redirect to an article that doesn't mention them.  DGG ( talk ) 09:57, 1 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Look again, the team is mentioned in the article for the league. Spanneraol (talk) 14:27, 1 January 2017 (UTC)
