Netherlands women's national cyclo-cross team

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The topic seems to be not really a team, but more a selection of riders that can change within a year. I can't find any reference on this topic. I don't think the article right now is notable and besides of that it's outdated. No other article links to this page. Sander.v.Ginkel (talk) 16:08, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete, as per nom, these seem to be individuals who were selected for the 2006 world championships. I imagine different riders might be selected for different contests, therefore this isn't a permanent team in any sense. But this is all speculation until someone can find a reliable selection of sources! Failing that, the article serves little purpose. A "List of Dutch cyclo-cross riders" might be a more plausible article ... Sionk (talk) 22:49, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
 * The descriptions, "a selection of riders that can change within a year" and "different riders might be selected for different contests, therefore this isn't a permanent team in any sense", by substituting a relevant word for "riders", apply to any national representative team in any sport, so would not seem to be valid reasons in themselves for deletion. Let's concentrate on notability rather than such flawed reasoning. Phil Bridger (talk) 21:46, 26 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Would you rather I spelt it out? There's no evidence of a permanent or ongoing Netherlands women's national cyclo-cross team. Fails WP:GNG. Sionk (talk) 03:20, 27 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
