Completely unsourced. Trivial and non-notable. Fails WP:GNG. Also see WP:SPORTCRIT. Full of redlinks. Created as part of a large swath of pages by a single user who has since left. Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 05:05, 12 January 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Keep Not sure why this user has tried to wipe inline hockey out of existence on Wikipedia. RHI was a nationally covered league on prime time for a number of years. The teams in this league were covered extensively in the media. A quick search easily shows there was all kinds of coverage for most if not all of these teams. These mass deletion nominations are going to cause a huge amount of work to clean up. This league was the top level inline league in the world during the time the sport was a huge craze. I would also point out that most of theses were not created by a single user. -DJSasso (talk) 17:58, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
 * THese articles have been uncited for over 7 years... -- Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 18:06, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I forget the particular page that explains that Afd is not for cleanup. WP:BEFORE C1 indicates if articles can be cleaned up then they are not Afd candidates. And section D indicates that it is up to the nominator to do a good faith look for sources for anything they nominate. At the rate these articles have been thrown up, I am having a hard time believing you have done a search through appropriate news archives for sources (since most of these teams pre-date high internet usage.) Though even a quick google search turns up stories on a number of these. I would also point out There is no deadline. Just because another editor has not yet come along to take on the work of sourcing them better does not mean they cannot be sourced. We are supposed to judge AfDs on how the pages can be, not only on how they are. -DJSasso (talk) 18:15, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Oppose, procedurally if nothing else. The articles have not been tagged for Afd. This is not the way to proceed. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 04:16, 21 January 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep Espn coverage easily meets GNG, obviously no attempt to even check. This NY Times article discusses the sports decline, but highlights what a big deal the sport was; featured at the Barcelona Olympics, national tv coverage, etc.  And to be frank, I am sick and tired of this "large swath" nonsense.  The list creator created 3 articles, and the contained articles have multiple creators, some of whom are still active.  I don't know who it persuades, but it is clearly inappropriate conduct.18abruce (talk) 00:41, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
