Falkland Islands national ice hockey team

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Patently ridiculous article that almost verges on WP:HOAX. This "national team" is not recognized by the IIHF, it does not play other national squads, the article's linked to a DEK hockey team (a different sport altogether), and it completely lacks reliable sources. Created by an editor with a history of dubious hockey-related article creations.   Ravenswing   16:18, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

 * comment The reason it links to a Dek hockey team, is because they are the same team there. The official site explains their story, has links from The Hockey House interviews, and pictures from when they played in an ice hockey tournament in Chile, which you can find coverage on if you look around.  The "national teams of icehockey" site has a page dedicated to them, clearly not a hoax.  That said, if appears to be more trivia than anything else to me.18abruce (talk) 01:49, 19 February 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete No dedicated articles from reliable sources, only a mention on IIHS website for a tournament in Tierra del Fuego, Chile! Search tools yield nothing. Lacks notability. Tapered (talk) 05:50, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
