Fictional league; violates WP:NOT Mhking 20:27, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Rebuttal: If this were an article proposing that the GFL was a "real" league then sure, grounds for deletion. But, the article clearly states that it is describing a "Fictional League" as pertains to a work of fiction. The Wikipedia is packed with other descriptions of elements from other fictional works. How is this one different? We have an entire entry on the Weapons of Star Trek yet none of them are real, there is a list of the companies named in the Star Wars canon: List of Star Wars companies which is strictly fictional, and there is a list of the faux Mandarin curse words used in Firefly: List of Firefly slang words. I might note that the individual who posted this deletion actualy is a contributor to the Star Trek articles. Perhaps one might say that the other articles describing fictional elements from things like Star Trek, Star Wars, and Firefly are describing more popular works. Since when is Wikipedia a popularity contest? The fact of the matter is Scott Sigler is a groundbreaking podcaster and if anything is even more eligible for note as he is at the vanguard of a new media movement. I fail to see how there is any merit to this. Granted the article needs cleaning up, and I have posted a banner proposing just that. However, since it is describing an element of a podcast that is still in continuing production I have to imagine that the cleanup will be a continuing issue as well.
