Article which has been previously deleted though a deletion discussion, G4 declined, however the facts have not changed. Proposed team which never played a competitive match and does not meet the WP:GNG. Cloudz 679 07:05, 17 November 2012 (UTC)

Keep - The Mojo were part of the league history, whether they played one game or a whole season. Including franchise history even for those who did not play many games enriches history for future. There are other sources out there about the team. Deleting this page will be deleting part of league and soccer history, especially when we look at how minor league sports leagues continually have a history of franchise instability.More sources I found on the Mojo in a quick Google search are:

 * Merge and redirect to American Indoor Soccer League. They didn't play a game, hence they don't have enough mojo for a separate article. The league article itself is none too long. Clarityfiend (talk) 09:15, 17 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect per Clarity. Let me "modify" the deletion rationale: add "page independently recreated and edited by lots of people" before "G4 declined" — G4 speedy deletion doesn't cover new articles about the same subjects, and that's why I declined the G4 attempt.  However, we don't need articles about non-teams in minor sports leagues, and the content (including the citations provided by Bes2224) will fit well on the league's article.  Note that I've put Bes' links into bullets so that they display more easily; it's more convenient for other participants if we can see the URL instead of being presented with little [1], [2], etc.  Nyttend (talk) 12:21, 17 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep -They did not play a full season, but they did play 1 game that factored into the regular season standings  Bes2224 (talk) 00:21, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect as above. GiantSnowman 08:55, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
