Oklahoma City Stars men's basketball

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I don't think that it is a notable sports team, as there was no indication given of his notability. Plus, there are no references to the article (which is a stub.) Corkythehornetfan (Talk) 01:29, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand, in part because notability is not temporary. The current state of the article is skimpy, but OCU was an important Division I program for decades, especially under coaches Doyle Parrack and Abe Lemons. As the article already notes, OCU played in 11 NCAA tournaments (and have also won 5 NAIA championships). In addition, I believe that OCU  was a host (or at least, a frequent participant and winner) of the nation's oldest basketball tournament, the All-College Basketball Classic (another article that needs expansion).  --Arxiloxos (talk) 02:09, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep per Arxiloxos. Though they are currently an NAIA team, OCU was an NCAA Division I team for years and played in multiple NCAA tournaments. WP:NTEMP. Ejgreen77 (talk) 23:42, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep - were a successful NCAA D1 team for years and are an NAIA power - having won 6 national championships. Even if they hadn't ever been division I they'd be one of a handful of smaller college programs that are notable due to their success. Rikster2 (talk) 23:33, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep - Historically relevant to the sport and still an NAIA power today. Could be expanded and better sourced, but the stub itself is still notable. Jrcla2 (talk) 14:46, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
