Little Lebowski Urban Achievers

 * Delete - Load of crap. "Comedy" article. Irishjp 12:51, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as WP:BOLLOCKS and WP:HOAX — Travis talk  13:10, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong delete. What in the wide wide world of sports are they talking about? It's a hoax. Wikipedia is not for things made up in the locker room one day. Realkyhick 15:30, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep-This is an actual Waco YMCA summer league team. I live in Waco Texas and I've seen them play (badly). Most of the nonsense in the article is based on actual events familiar to the people involved. It would therefore be inacurate to consider the article a hoax.--Nacnud298 15:49, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm not registering for the NY Times, so I can't check the link for it, but the CNN and all of the ESPN links are bogus. Also, searching the Central Texas YMCA site yields exactly zero results. In any case, I seriously doubt that the YMCA would be associated with anything as dubious as this so-called team. — Travis talk  18:13, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong delete. Whether or not there is a team, the article is rubbish, the references don't pan out, and the team wouldn't be notable internationally. --Ckatz chat spy  17:06, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Hoax, joke, nonsense, attack page... whatever you want to call it, it doesn't belong here. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  18:26, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Recreational-league teams, even if they exist, simply do not belong in WP unless they have done something really noteworthy. Deor 18:28, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong keep Oddly enough, this is an actual team, I even played on it, going by the moniker "The Daddy" and while the team was dubious, it was affiliated with the YMCA. Also, we lacked the facilities needed to get a locker room, so this was most certainly not thought up in a locker room. As improbable as it sounds, the YMCA was associated with this team, although the relationship was marked with strife and mutual hostility. Martin Scorsese stopped returning calls about a possible documentary, but we are still hopeful. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.162.135.213 (talk) 22:11, 15 August 2007
 * Delete Regardless of whether there actually is a sports team going by this name is irrelevant. If said team exists, this article does not show notability.  I don't know wiki policy that well, so I can't cite the rule that applies here, but that this article is someone's idea of a joke is without question.

 * Delete. While I certainly appreciate the name of the team (c.f. my userboxes), the article as written is clearly a joke.  And, that issue aside, it seems rather dubious that the team could establish notability.  Side question: does notability for sports teams fall under notability for organizations?  ␄ –Iknowyourider (t c) 22:59, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
