Madeira Youth Wiffleball League

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Summertime kiddie league that falls short of WP:GNG requirements. Notability, as per Wikipedia standards, is not evident. And Adoil Descended (talk) 00:25, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Concur with nom. Fails GNG.  The city itself only has around 8000 people and its article barely says much except census info.  League for 100 kids is far from notable. MB 02:59, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Per nom. I'm very familiar with Maderia and a children's wiffleball league nearly anywhere would not be considered generally notable, much less in this (fairly) quiet suburb. Beeblebrox (talk) 03:27, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete This is definitely more suited to their blog, which coincidentally, appears to be one of the only places this has been written about. Timothy Joseph Wood  13:26, 3 January 2017 (UTC)

This article is one hundred percent legitimate. The league, while it does only have 150 children nowadays, used to have many more. The amount of people in the Cincinnati area that it has touched is in the thousands. It is a staple of the Cincinnati culture, not to mention the notable Andrew Benintendi who played in the league, who now plays in the MLB. Can any other youth league boast something like that? While recognition of the league may be limited now, it is projected to gain notable, national recognition this coming season, as according to their Board of Directors. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wiffleceo33 (talk • contribs) 18:48, 6 January 2017 (UTC)

 * I can understand your advocacy, since you are the author of the article and do not want it to disappear. And I am not certain whether you are an impartial observer, given your account name. But the article misses the basic tenets of WP:ORG. And Adoil Descended (talk) 17:40, 9 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep This youth league subject has been mentioned by a Cincinnati paper and a tv station report. It is a league for children that has a notable former player. (even though inheritance does not help) I think more worthy sources may be found. Bythebooklibrary (talk) 01:25, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete coverage in local sources of a children's wiffleball league does not confer notability, and does not pass the standard for in depth coverage as seen at WP:ORG. TonyBallioni (talk) 20:20, 9 January 2017 (UTC)
