The result was   merge to Northern Michigan Wildcats men's ice hockey . Recent AFDs of similar groups have tended to merge and this is the consensus here Spartaz Humbug! 17:18, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Puckheads

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Formerly a contested PROD, this page cites no reliable secondary sources. It looks like a non-notable fan group. Surprised that it's survived this long. &mdash; KV5  •  Talk  •  00:22, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

 * I lean to keep, although a merger to Northern Michigan Wildcats men's ice hockey might be discussed. A quick Google search reveals that, in addition to the coverage you would expect from NMU-affiliated sources, this fan group has also received coverage in reliable secondary sources not affiliated with NMU.  Here is a feature article about them in The Michigan Daily: "'Puckheads' add to Icers' challenge", Michigan Daily, November 14, 2005.  I also found discussions of the Puckheads in articles in the Omaha World-Herald and The Mining Journal (Marquette, Michigan), each discussing the traditional rivalry between the Puckheads and a corresponding fan group at the University of Nebraska-Omaha.  --Arxiloxos (talk) 01:31, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Note: I cleaned up all of the cruft, POV and other junk from the article. If there is even an iota of a chance that the article is kept, we can't have it in the state it was in. --Smashvilletalk 14:39, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Now that this has been reduced to a stub with a few sentences and a few references, which is all the coverage those sources truly warrant, a merge seems a better option at this point. &mdash; KV5  •  Talk  •  15:02, 16 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Merge as Arxiloxos discussed. Because of the recent cleanup, it seems like an easy merge (especially since NMU hockey page doesn't contain a whole lot). I say merge the whole thing to a new section. Tavix | Talk  18:57, 16 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep or merge, whatever the deciding admin prefers. I mean, they are certainly very loud during games (especially when you sit near them; hence the press coverage), but they aren't too loud notability-wise. However, with three sources, I think it meets WP:GNG. — Ed   (talk  •  majestic titan)  05:05, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

 * keep appears sourced. However if concesnsus leads towards merging i do not oppose that either. Ottawa4ever (talk) 14:37, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge As a fan group, lacks the notability (and tertiary sources) of something like Deadhead. Шизомби (Sz) (talk) 04:11, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete (as there are many other uses of the term puckhead which have to do with the NHL), or Merge to the NHL article. Do not merge to anything to do with Northern Michigan University or Northern Michigan Wildcats men's ice hockey. Utterly non-notable student group. Abductive  (reasoning) 06:36, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Merge Delete this article and merge anything relevent to the school article. -DJSasso (talk) 11:51, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Completely non-notable fan club of a sports team. Don't merge anything.    Snotty Wong   communicate 18:02, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge into the school article and delete this article. Not notable as a stand alone article -Pparazorback (talk) 22:42, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
