New York Life Protection Index

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails GNG. This is some random stat that got some minor coverage in 2011 from ESPN and some hype on launch. It was used intermittently in 2011, but doesn't seem to have gained traction, it's not cited regularly in sports news reports, and its page no longer exists. I'd argue that this was indeed temporary, and was little more than sponsored trivia. It's not even worth mentioning in the NYL article. Interestingly enough, it was created by User:Socialnyl, which means someone missed a UAA violation. I point this out because it indicates an ulterior promotional motive in article creation.

 * Delete Even if this did once receive coverage, it was minuscule at best. WP:NTEMP states "Notability is not temporary; once a topic has been the subject of "significant coverage" in accordance with the general notability guideline, it does not need to have ongoing coverage." (bold added) The prod was removed with the assumption that the article satisfied WP:NTEMP, but all that can be immediately found on it is a single ESPN article from one game in 2011. Beside that, first-party sites and Wikipedia mirrors. Lizard  (talk) 19:50, 31 July 2016 (UTC)
