New Hampshire Roller Derby

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Unremarkable article. No references, sources, external links or inline citations. Only 1 inbound link from New Hampshire. Official site looks more like a Myspace page than a substantial organization. Superflewis (talk) 05:10, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Delete - per my nomination --Superflewis (talk) 05:11, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - Being an Unremarkable article, not having external links, having only 1 inbound link and the appearance of their official site are not reasons to delete an article. --Captain-tucker (talk) 13:38, 19 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep The only problem that I see with the article is that it lacks an encyclopedic style, and the author hasn't put in citations or sources. Certainly, there are sources; the official site does have links to a July 31 article in the Boston Globe and other publications.  What this appears to be, according to the independent sources, is a business that stages exhibitions at arenas in New England. Mandsford (talk) 13:03, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - NN corp; no assertions of notability, no evidence of notability. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  13:48, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Promotional tone, no notability, no sources, no apparently useful hits on google. Hers fold  (t/a/c) 19:19, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. No valid references, unencyclopedic advertising language ("The girls pride themselves in being positive role models and members of the community"). Regards, HaeB (talk) 06:16, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - article needs improvement and to be related to the greater world of American roller derby, but based on the quantity of other roller derby articles already existing, I see no reason why this one can't be brought up to their level.--Ken Gallager (talk) 12:29, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 * So, have you found suitable reliable sources for this article? Regards, HaeB (talk) 00:06, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep - I have just added three reliable source references to the article. True, the article needs improvement and cleanup but these are not reasons for deletion.  --Captain-tucker (talk) 13:16, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep The added sources do it for me. Unremarkable, not very wikified, perhaps. Those are reasons to improve it though, imho. Arakunem Talk 19:42, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak delete, coverage is fairly trivial. Stifle (talk) 00:03, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak keep, added two relevant inbound links and another reference. --Oddharmonic (talk) 00:38, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep and comment - Holy Toledo, this RFD was launched a mere four hours after the article was created! (actually, I see it was requested THREE MINUTES after the article was created!) I know it's fun to proclaim things as beneath you and to banish them from the kingdom - I have my deletionist side - but for crying out loud, give articles a few days to leave pre-beta stage. - DavidWBrooks (talk) 01:01, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
