The result was   redirect to Celebrity Cricket League. The discussions appears to established that the subject currently doesn't have enough coverage in reliable soruces in order to warrant a seperate article. However, consensus has established that the subject is a plausable search term, and a redirect is warranted. (non-admin closure) Alpha_Quadrant   (talk)  17:43, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

Chennai Rhinos

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non-notable cricket team. This team isn't a professional sports team, nor does it play at what could be deemed the top level of amatuer cricket in India. It plays Twenty20 cricket, though not officially sanctioned, so fails one element of WP:CRIN. Just because actors make up its rank doesn't mean it automatically qualifies for notability and inclusion. Details about the team in the main Celebrity Cricket League article would be fine, but to give each team an article, when both historically and sportingly, it doesn't warrant it. Sometime ago WP:CRIN guidelines for clubs were revised, by my reckonking this team for celebrities to have a jolly falls quite short of them. AssociateAffiliate (talk) 17:49, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Celebrity Cricket League. Not independently notable, but still a plausible search term IMO. Jenks24 (talk) 18:16, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Just noting that I did look at that gnews search for "Chennai Rhinos" before casting my vote, but I didn't consider any of the articles to be the significant coverage that is required to pass GNG. The articles either mentioned the team in passing or were WP:ROUTINE articles such as match reports. Jenks24 (talk) 08:18, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment - Hmmmm didn't consider a redirect as an option ;) AssociateAffiliate (talk) 18:52, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, redirect it extra 999  ( talk )  03:39, 8 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep the subject meets WP:GNG, which is superior to WP:CRIN. It is possible to write an interesting article about the team. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 08:05, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment - It's also possible to write an interesting article if the celebrities in this team all farted in tandom, I'm sure the celebrity cult obsessed Indian press would cover it en-masse. I can't see how a team which has no historical note, or sporting only notability could possibly become an interesting article.  They're celebrities having a jolly; that doesn't make this team notable!!!! AssociateAffiliate (talk) 19:07, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
 * The celebrities do not fart in tandom (what is tandom, btw?), they play cricket in a celebrity league. The coverage in the major Indian newspapers suggests that this activity constitutes an important element for the Indian pop culture. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 07:07, 9 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment - it's never going to meet WP:CRIN but has a pretty good shot at meeting WP:GNG given the level of coverage it has got from the Indian press. Hack (talk) 05:08, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Redirect to Celebrity Cricket League as suggested by Jenks24. This is a common sense option. --Brian (talk) 18:12, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Celebrity Cricket League: the league is definitely notable, but the teams are just part of the larger event in this case: they don't meet sporting notability requirements.  Harrias  talk 17:07, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
