Fort Worth Regulators

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Article is about a short lived semi-pro sports team with no claim to notability. Searches found routine coverage but doesn't establish anything more than their existence. Article remains unsourced since it's creation in 2007. -- D'n'B-t -- 06:21, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: American football and Texas. -- D'n'B-t -- 06:21, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Redirect to American Professional Football League. Of the 16 hits on ProQuest for "Fort Worth Regulators", most are brief mentions about how they folded as a team. Cielquiparle (talk) 20:55, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I'd question a Redirect, as a reader searching for "Fort Worth Regulators" could just as easily be looking for information on People Who Deal With Regulations in the city of Fort Worth (eg to find out who regulates Fridges and Milk) as to be looking for a defunct football team. -- D'n'B-t -- 09:28, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Redirect per Cielquiparle. My search of Newspapers.com failed to turn up SIGCOV to support a stand-alone article. However, I did find many references to the team in routine coverage, such that a redirect makes sense. (I don't see a sound reason to reject the redirect, as generalized searches for "regulators" in Forth Worth doesn't seem likely and there is no Wikipedia article on regulators based there.)

 * Redirect per above. I find DandelionAndBurdock's concern about redirecting to be unnecessary, but it can be addressed by adding a hatnote to an article on a regulatory agency in that area, if such an article exists.  Frank   Anchor  14:15, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
