 * Pls retain this article as the Citi Badminton Team is one of the pilars in Corporate Badminton Tournament Circuit in the Philippines. Citi Badminton team is the one of the oldest Corporate badminton teams in the phils and its history need to be archived.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Darupinta07 (talk • contribs) 08:59, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete as unsourced and unverified WP:OR. There probably is a need for an article on this subject but this article, in its present form, isn't it. Eddie.willers (talk) 11:45, 13 October 2008 (UTC)


 * The info provided was based on the data gathered from our organization's historian.  There are several articles written in major dailies in the Philippines about Citi Badminton team.   In due time, they will included and cited in here... particularly, after the resolution on whether this topic merits its inclusion in Wikipedia.

 * Delete per WP:ORG, WP:N, WP:V. Company sports teams are fun and good for morale, but not something an encyclopedia can reasonably cover. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  15:55, 13 October 2008 (UTC)


 * This is not only about a company sports team. Citi Badminton team has already made its mark in Philippines' employment by providing opportunities for collegiate athletes.  In a country, where there's no real incentive system (e.g. monetary) for athletes to continue their sporting career after the university, Citi Badminton has bridged this gap.  This is just an example of its impact and value as a human interest ... ergo an encycopedia can cover.
 * Okay, now this is just getting silly. Unless the "Citi Badminton Team" consists of millions of people, I strongly doubt it's had any impact on the Phillipines employment whatsoever... the Phillipines is a country of nearly 100 million people!

 * Delete. Completely non-notable, and what's with including press write-ups and e-mails on the main article? Starczamora (talk) 20:37, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, company-based sports teams are by themselves not notable...unless, say, the said team made it in the finals of some international competition sponsored by the international regulatory body for badminton. I don't care if, as alleged, it does provide employment opportunities for some persons--for all I care, there may be other companies or company sports teams that do the same---it's just that it simply does not meet Wikipedia's notability policies, and it simply has to go. There are also conflict of interest issues given that, per the anonymous/unsigned user comments, the article was written by a company historian. --- Tito Pao (talk) 08:37, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment to page author, kindly do not blank the content until the discussion is closed. Thank you! Eatabullet (talk) 01:59, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete for being a non-notable company team. Although if I may add some teams are highly notable. – Howard  the   Duck  03:51, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
