Española Valley High School Boys Basketball

This appears to be a non-notable high school athletic team. There is no reason for it to be split out of Española Valley High School. Aleta  Sing 03:05, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete No notability established. It was just written by a student at that school. Seems like they had success, but really theres no other high school teams that have their own separate articles, not even those nationally known high school football teams. Theres no reason why this high school team should. -- Coasttocoast (talk)
 * Comment excuse me i have seen high school football and basketball articles before..So why havent those ones been marked for deletion?207.155.113.123 (talk) 15:59, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete. I did like the part about breaking "the Decibel Noise level at 120, with a screaming 15,000+ fans". However, of course, all of the info here is unverified and much of it is probably unverifiable. Even if one takes all of the claims in the article for granted, that would not amount to notability. No sources cited in the article and, apart from a few mentions in local press, I did not find much in GoogleNews either. Fails WP:N.  Nsk92 (talk) 04:46, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. At best, anything sourced and encyclopedic could be included to the school's article. This is just content that would/should/could be on the school's website, and WP:NOT a free webhost. -- Kinu t /c  06:24, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as nn and unencyclopedic. CRGreathouse (t | c) 15:11, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep reasons why to keep this year this basketball team set off history in northern new mexico and you may think its not so important but to may it is keep others in mind as well not just you these boys went a far way and there is plenty of sources that need to be added it just takes time.   ...

 * The team still lacks notability. The first link is a local news source, for any high school team you can find stories in the local newspaper. The second two links are just from video hosting websites. "set off history in northern new mexico" is not enough. -- Coasttocoast (talk) 00:45, 23 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Merge into Espanola Valley High School, which is a wide-ranging article and already has lots of sports statistics - not sure why, other than being particularly successful, the basketball squad needs its own article. Duncan1800 (talk) 01:02, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge/Redirect to Española Valley High School. More sources still need to be added to support the claims made in the article. Alansohn (talk) 04:57, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep- this inspirational basketball team from a though town deserves to have a basketball page ..i think people should think about others opinions as said a couple of comments on top of this one. Is just a basketall page let it be.. if you were from this area you would be proud too. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.113.50.208 (talk • contribs)
 * This argument has absolutely nothing to do with Wikipedia policies and guidelines. Also, please note the similarity of contributions (and argument) between User:Thomasalazar and User:76.113.50.208. This might very well be a double !vote. -- <strong style="color:blue;">Kinu <sup style="color:red;">t /<sub style="color:red;">c  11:47, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
 * User:Kinu what the hell is your point you idiot i dont even know user:thomasalazar? so what point or arguement are you trying to start?! 76.113.50.208 talk 16:30, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I compared the two contribution histories and scope of the comments and conjectured a possibility. If you are indeed not the same person, then there is no need to get defensive and violate WP:CIVIL. -- <strong style="color:blue;">Kinu <sup style="color:red;">t /<sub style="color:red;">c  16:43, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge/Redirect to Española Valley High School - there is mergeable content and there is absolutely no reason for an outright delete. TerriersFan (talk) 16:41, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge/Redirect valid encyclopedic content that would fit perfectly in the school article.  Jerry  talk ¤ count/logs 00:52, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - I have no objection to merging of encyclopedic content. <b style="color:#990066;">Aleta</b> <sup style="color:#0095B6;"> Sing 00:56, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep i dont see why it is marked for deletion. It would be nice to keep the article because that way you would not crowd the school article too much the players roster and the schedule would be a burden to the Espanola Valley High School athletics section. Well i think it should be kept there is no reason for an arguement over a page like this..In a sense i think those players are proud and whoever created this must be very proud of there school seems great to me :) 207.155.113.123 (talk) 15:53, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * The reason this discussion exists is because the team itself does not meet WP:ORG, as it is a subset of the school, which is considered notable. Being "proud" of ones accomplishments is not the criterion by which Wikipedia articles are created/kept. -- <strong style="color:blue;">Kinu <sup style="color:red;">t /<sub style="color:red;">c  18:17, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
