The result was   redirect to North American Football League. As there is clearly no substantial coverage of this team, a redirect to the league's article appears to be the consensus. ~ mazca  talk 08:35, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Redirect to league article. ChildofMidnight (talk) 21:35, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete No reliable sources to be found. Plus, I live in Portland and I've never heard of the team at all. Steven Walling (talk) 02:52, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep (I created the article.) Team is new in an established nationwide league. Agreed that sources are scant so far, but other teams in this league do receive independent press coverage once established. (P.S. to Steven: Hey, when did anything in Cottage Grove (besides Animal House) get covered in Portland? ;-) --Esprqii (talk) 16:22, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree, "I've heard of it" is a questionable argument, but Esprqii, Wikipedia isn't a crystal ball. If it gets coverage, recreate the article. If not, let Cottage Grove Gryphons be a redirect to the league. Now might be a good time to save off the content to your userspace! tedder (talk) 17:20, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
 * You're right on the Cottage Grove clip Esprqii :) Are there any sources, reliable or not, to be found on the team? Steven Walling (talk) 06:25, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
