Latino Legends Team

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

There are no reliable third-party references that establish the notability of this subject. There is one NY Times reference that only verifies a fact in the article and does nothing to help with notability. The other sources are primary sources and aren't enough to establish reliability. There's a template for this article too, which should be deleted if this AfD results in a delete vote. KV5 ( Talk  •  Phils ) 13:54, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Strong keep Why is Major League Baseball All-Century Team or Major League Baseball All-Time Team notable enough for inclusion and this, virtually the same thing, not? Definitely needs additional sourcing and expansion, but can be fixed. Staxringold talkcontribs 14:51, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Those articles don't have reliable sourcing to establish notability either, and if I had come across them first, I would have nominated them for deletion as well. If we can't establish notability using reliable sources, then it's not viable for inclusion. In fact, the ONLY actual references in the All-Century Team article right now are for that Rose interview which was already trimmed from Pete Rose's article and doesn't really have any purpose in being included in full.

 * Sorry, the All-Time Team has one reliable source and is certainly worthy of keeping, though it needs more sources to back up the one it has. Point is, we're not just a collection of everything; articles need sourcing. KV5  ( Talk  •  Phils ) 15:42, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Right, but doesn't a lack of sourcing call for Unreferenced before an AFD? Staxringold talkcontribs 19:12, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Not necessarily. Maintenance tagging isn't required. If this is an effective way to spur discussion or give someone an impetus to find sources, so be it. KV5  ( Talk  •  Phils ) 19:37, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * It would be more effective if you would add the sources yourself. Please see WP:BEFORE. BRMo (talk) 22:14, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, excuse me, BRMo, for not knowing how to find said sources. Honestly, I don't care if this article stays or goes, but it didn't have any reliable sources, so it didn't help the encyclopedia to just let it sit there and languish with a bunch of unrelated information in it.

 * Keep. Notability is established by significant coverage in multiple reliable sources. I've added citations to three of the news articles.  Many other sources are available by just clicking on the "Find sources" link above.  (The nominator really should have done this before nominating the article for deletion.)  We may not be able to find sources for all of the comments made in the article, but that's an editing issue, not a notability or deletion issue. BRMo (talk) 22:02, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Notability established with multiple sources. — X96lee15 (talk) 14:31, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Keep Some sources have been added since the initial nomination, but I don't see why it was nominated in the first place. Major League Baseball invited its fans to make the selection of the greatest Hispanic players, and then honored those players during the World Series.  I'm not sure how that wouldn't be notable.
