Long Island Ping Pong League

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

This league appears to be a hoax. I've done several searches for sources and have been unable to verify its existence. This league is in the United States, a country that has a large presence on the Internet, so the lack of sources on the topic indicates that this league, and its related tournaments, are hoaxes.

I am nominating the following related articles because they are tournaments that are part of this league:



I am also nominating the following category:

 * Delete all - no references, I'm not finding anything to indicate they exist. Only G hits are to these wikipedia articles.  Thankfully the nav boxes at the bottom haven't actually been created yet.--RadioFan (talk) 22:35, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete all. I would understand if it were a matter of the league not maintaining a web presence of its own, but here, there is not even a blog entry. --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 22:42, 28 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete all Per RadioFan and only refs given were a non-working link and to the related WP articles.  Tide  rolls  22:44, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete all, I too just wasted a few minutes checking this. Give the creator a strong warning and block them if there is an attempt at re-creation.  WP:MADEUP.  Drawn Some (talk) 00:06, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. I just gave the author of these articles a level 3 warning for removing AfD tags and blanking this page. --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 01:51, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I reverted this comment, not realizing the creator legitimately wanted to be heard (he had, for one edit, attributed his own comment to ):
 *  Keep - League of AMATEUR players. Association is not major, but verifiable by referenced sites. Some articles are mid-construction, refs coming soon. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Joreiley (talk • contribs) .

 * Keep All - Please do not revert updates to articles which contain references. Furthermore, via wikipedia and an under-construction website, this league is gaining web presence. This is no hoax, the league is legitimate. Although the league originated in 2007, it's journey onto the internet began but a few days ago. Along with the wiki entry comes a website, in which all LPL entries are being referenced toward. Thank you. -Joreiley —Preceding unsigned comment added by Joreiley (talk • contribs).

 * Comment either reliable sources exist or they don't and right now there is no evidence that any exist. The only reference on any of these articles is to a half created personal website, not exactly a reliable source.  If not a hoax, its at least an attempt to promote something that doesn't meet notability guidlines via Wikipedia.  If this league does exist and does get the kind of significant coverage required of all wikipedia articles at some point in the future then articles can be created then.--RadioFan (talk) 06:19, 29 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete, it's a bunch of kids playing ping pong in their basements, and calling it a "league". NawlinWiki (talk) 13:02, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete all. No proof of existence, let alone notability.  Probable hoax, but even if not, fails the general notability guideline. --Rrburke(talk) 13:47, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete all - at best, not notable. JohnCD (talk) 16:47, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep all - According the article's history, articles are being updated continuously by its creator-- i say keep it, the main site speaks for itself, the article just needs some fine-tuning (obv. refs) .

 * Comment frequent updates or not, the concern that this is a hoax still has not been resolved.--RadioFan (talk) 01:16, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
