Long Island Tigers

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

User:Staffwaterboy attempted twice to tag this article as CSD as meeting criteria "A7. No indication of importance (individuals, animals, organizations, web content)."

While the article does make a vague assertion that is not verifiable from the article text, the article has been created with no reliable third-party sources and as such, this assertion is not verifiable at the present time.

Unless this is corrected, in which event I will withdraw the nomination, I'm proposing the deletion of this article. Triona (talk) 04:45, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete, I can't find anything that would confer notability, though I think a speedy under A7 would have been suitable; the sole claim made is that participants have gone on to play College or Professional baseball, but does not claim that the organization is why they have been able to do so.

 * Delete as there is no indication of notability. Armbrust  Talk  Contribs  17:53, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment. I removed the CSD because it was contested with a halfway reasonable argument, namely: see Bayside Yankees, a comparable team (in the same league, I guess). Which is a much better article. Granted this article is a bad article, it could be improved. However 1) even then it might well not be notable, and 2) its bad enough that deleting and waiting for a better article to be written from scratch would be reasonable. So I don't have an opinion and am not !voting. Herostratus (talk) 18:26, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

MLB players from the Tigers include Dave Valle, Jose Lopez, Steve Karsay, Sean Brown, Mike Parisi, Don Cooper, Neal Heaton, and Ed Glynn. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vodello (talk • contribs)
 * Delete Would need a lot more references than that to prove notability. :| TelCo  NaSp  Ve :|  18:44, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
