Fails WP:GNG with only one local independent source reporting anything, and it is all WP:NOTNEWS-style announcements. With no WP:SUSTAINED coverage due to only playing one away game, which would be a single WP:ROUTINE mention at best, this fails WP:NORG and WP:SPORTS presumptions of notability. Redirect would not be very helpful as the the only thing that links here is the league itself and its nav template, which this would redirect back to the league page. It is not substantially different than what was deleted before, just has two more sentences with the local cite. Absolutely no different than any other low-level non-media covered indoor football team (see Articles for deletion/South Carolina Ravens, Articles for deletion/Austin Wild, Articles for deletion/New England Cavalry, Articles for deletion/Savannah Coastal Outlaws, etc.).

 * Delete My vote would be to merge the information onto the Southern Indoor Football League page. I've already copied over all relevant information, though, so we can safely delete (or redirect?) this article. SportingFlyer  talk  23:11, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
 * There is nothing particularly wrong with making it a redirect, it just wouldn't be used as far as I can tell. At best, it never gets used other than where I already mentioned it is linked (the league page where it would redirect and the nav template for the league). At worst, it could create a complication if there someday becomes another Florida Kings subject that needs the title space. Yosemiter (talk) 01:19, 2 June 2018 (UTC)
 * I agree - just suggesting a redirect as a possibility. I don't think it's going to be anything anyone cares much about. SportingFlyer  talk  01:32, 2 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Southern Indoor Football League. Since the text of the article has been copied over to the linked page, we need to preserve the history of the current article for copyright purposes. More generally, I agree that this article does not meet notability requirements. Spirit of Eagle (talk) 01:22, 7 June 2018 (UTC)
