Extreme Baseball

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  AfD statistics)

A recently made-up sport with no references other than a few local sources. Google yields no results except for self-published and other unreliable sources. Nyttend (talk) 18:31, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

Keep I see no reason why this should be deleted it is a part of WikiProject Baseball and seems to be a growing sport. Regardless of reliable sources, this sport has great potential of becoming a superpower. Even if it is deleted now, another article is sure to come up soon.--Johncoracing48 (talk) 20:19, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. The subject is verifiable (just), and appears to have been active for the last three years. For what's essentially a niche, novelty sport (unlikely to become a "superpower"), this seems to be relatively notable. Pburka (talk) 20:47, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep, with two functioning RS's this passes the GNG. Polarpanda (talk) 21:15, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Bear in mind that local sources aren't sufficient for notability: all local politicians receive coverage, but most aren't notable. Same goes for other things, including sports.  Nyttend (talk) 22:00, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I think politicians are different precisely because they all receive coverage. The GNG talks about depth, and these two are just about deep enough. Polarpanda (talk) 09:50, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Enough reliable sources turn up under both "Xtreme baseball"  to make it clear that this is not the usual "new game" article. "Extreme baseball" turns up some sources not in the article , although most hits are about something else.  Mandsford (talk) 22:25, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
