Minnesota Blue Ox

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Completely unsourced. Trivial and non-notable. Fails WP:GNG. Also see WP:SPORTCRIT. Created as part of a large swath of pages by a single user promoting the sport or roller hockey. Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 17:13, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep Professional major league team that was playing at the height of roller hockey popularity when it was on prime time ESPN which easily meets WP:AUD. WP:SPORTCRIT is about players, not leagues or teams. -DJSasso (talk) 19:17, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep, per Djsasso. -- do ncr  am  19:49, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep Professional sports teams are notable. Also, pages were not all created by one user. Nominator should remember to assume good faith and not put out these accusations which are simply untrue. Smartyllama (talk) 20:29, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep no evidence that nom made any effort to search for sources. Nominating with the same rationale for every AfD without (apparently) even checking to see if each article fits the rationale is a non-starter. Lepricavark (talk) 20:54, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep. Blatant failure here of WP:BEFORE by nom. GauchoDude (talk) 18:42, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete. The two Google News hits are about an artists group of the same name. Google Newspapers got nothing. Google Books shows that it is also the name of a bar and some other stuff sports stuff unrelated to this. It is far from clear that this team even has the strongest claim on the article title. Stripping all that out the coverage of this team is close to nothing. I don't see notability. I don't even see verifiability. --DanielRigal (talk) 21:49, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
