North End Eagles

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

I know very little about hockey, but this article seems to be a hoax. I was not able to find any reliable coverage attesting to the existence of this team, let alone its status as a professional outfit. Also, the article is replete with sentences like "Many speculate that the team was actually consisted of played aged 18–29, jacked up on steroids, and placed in the 14-15 division because they couldn't keep up with the adults. Many team members had full grown beards and told stories of their life in the early 1980s.", which have been present since it was initially created. Lankiveil (speak to me) 09:32, 9 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete as non-notable. The team does seem to exist, however they're a street hockey team, not an ice hockey team. I found a few non-reliable references to them through Google, but no news articles. Cheers, TFOWRThis flag once was red 12:06, 9 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete as per above, not to mention the fact that the article is unreferenced, and contains blatant hearsay in the controversies section. All this with no redeeming qualities pretty much screams delete. KaySL (talk) 15:21, 9 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete as non-notable. We don't even have an article about the tournament that they keep trying to win.   Mandsford (talk) 16:22, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete as either a hoax or a real but non-notable team being hyped up into hoax territory. The external links in this article don't link to anything relevant. It appears that most of the references found on Google to this team are to mirrors of this Wikipedia article. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 21:53, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
