Georgia men's national ice hockey team

 * – ( View AfD View log )

No reliable sources. No evidence of participation in sanctioned international competitions. No evidence that this team exists as a National Team. Hairyns (talk) 20:20, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - This seems to suggest that it exists. It seems to me that being a national team for a sport does make something inherently notable and the precedent on Wikipedia is to include national sports teams. Their results are here. ItsZippy (talk • contributions) 22:17, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep Article is fully sourced. National team clearly exists even if only during the time the games were played. Also I dont think a national team would need to have participate in an international competition to pass notability. Salavat (talk) 13:15, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - I don't see why a national team would not be notable. And the IIHF sources seem to confirm that this is a national team. Rlendog (talk) 15:59, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - here the IIHF's page on them . Member since 2009. TerminalPreppie (talk) 13:15, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - Clearly existent. Cheers! Feedintm  ( talk ) 22:34, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
