List of 2015–16 Super Rugby transfers

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

WP:TOOSOON and WP:CRYSTAL; there's a long time until this season starts, and the name itself is highly misleading (it refers to the 2016 season, not the 2015–16 season, which doesn't exist). Transfers could change a lot in the mean time. Luke no 94 (tell Luke off here) 16:53, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

 * All the transfers included have already been revealed via press releases, etc. If it's already deemed newsworthy, how can it be WP:TOOSOON. Also, absolutely everything is completely verifiable, with references included to indicate as such, so it definitely doesn't meet WP:CRYSTAL either. The article refers to both the 2015 and the 2016 seasons, and transfers between those two seasons. It's definitely not just particular to the 2016 season.

 * Keep There is already public interest in 2015–16 player movements as per the media reports mentioned by User:TheMightyPeanut above. Particularly as this is a World Cup year, there are players stepping down from international rugby and already transferring from Super rugby for 2015–16. Many have already signed contracts in Europe or Japan. The article is not merely a placeholder waiting to be updated in 6 months time because the news is already occurring. WP:TOOSOON and WP:CRYSTAL do not apply. -- Ham105 (talk) 08:53, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep As stated previously, WP:TOOSOON and WP:CRYSTAL don't even apply. There are tens of valid references from reliable sources supporting all the content on the page. TheMightyPeanut (talk) 09:11, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
