Northern Illinois Cowboys
All of these pages are semi pro football teams and should not be deleted due to the fact that people use these pages for information on teh teams.

Extraordinarily weak assertion of notability and no independent reliable sources. I am also nominating the following related pages because they are essentially the same articles with only changes in names. All have same notability, reliable sources, and potential NPOV issues:

 * Keep Roscoe Rush The Roscoe Rush Should not be deleted because it is a semi pro football team that is registured as a non-profit, and they also participate in community support. --unsigned comment by 98.103.189.242 (talk)
 * So what? Thanks for your comments! Many would argue, including WP:NSPORT that being a semi-pro football team is exactly the reason it should be deleted.  Why does its status as a for-profit/non-profit matter?  And why is the community support notable for inclusion in an encyclopedia?  Sounds like a boy scout troop... Please provide more solid reasons.--Paul McDonald (talk) 20:01, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
