Notability not asserted, appears to fail WP:NOTE Yamla (talk) 14:26, 2 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep - Junior A hockey club, feeder system to NHL, and if sourced properly has tons of newspaper sources to prove notability. If anything this article should have been tagged for lack of sources, not notability issues.  DMighton (talk) 15:16, 2 August 2014 (UTC)
 * The article does contain sources — it might need more, but that describes 95% of the articles on Wikipedia. And we do accept sports teams at this level as notable enough for an article about the team, even if not every individual player on the team would actually qualify for a standalone BLP yet. So I don't see the problem here. Keep. Bearcat (talk) 17:06, 2 August 2014 (UTC)
 * At the time of nomination, there were 0 sources and no clear indication that it served as a feeder to the NHL. That is no longer the case. There are now a number of citations along with a list of notable alumni. This is primarily due to the work of DMighton who voted above. It is much more clear to me now that this article should be kept. As I am the person who nominated this for deletion, I'd like to strongly urge the closing admin to note this, and note that I was probably hasty in the nomination. --Yamla (talk) 22:03, 3 August 2014 (UTC)
