Ottawa Wheels

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Completely unsourced. Trivial and non-notable. Fails WP:GNG. Also see WP:SPORTCRIT. Created as part of a large swath of pages by a single user promoting the sport or roller hockey. Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 17:01, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep Team at the top level professional league during the height of roller hockey popularity with games on ESPN in prime time. Hardly trivial. Easily meets GNG with some newspaper archives from the time period. Also WP:SPORTCRIT applies to players, not leagues and teams which it mentions on its page. Also like a number of other articles in these mass nominations was not created by that "one" user. -DJSasso (talk) 19:00, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep This is getting ridiculous. Nominator should have done WP:BEFORE. Professional teams are notable, WP:SPORTCRIT only applies to players, and pages were not all created by a single user. Smartyllama (talk) 20:33, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep no evidence that nom made any effort to search for sources. Lepricavark (talk) 20:50, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
