The result was   merge to Seattle SuperSonics relocation to Oklahoma City. Not notable enough for individual article, although merits mentioning (non-admin closure) ( talk→  Bwilkins / BMW   ←track ) 13:49, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

Save Our Sonics

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

The organization is not notable. It existed for a very brief period of time, did not achieve its objective, and is now disbanded. Only one other article links to this one, and that link was created by the same editor who created this article. Furthermore, that user's only edits are creating this page, editing this page, and adding the link to it. This page was proposed for deletion before, but the tag was removed by an IP address with only one edit. The edit summary given by that IP address for not deleting the page is incoherent. The group contains no noteworthy members, I don't think the group will have any kind of historical significance, not even a footnote Chicken Wing (talk) 22:15, 9 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete. Per comments above. Chicken Wing (talk) 22:19, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge with Seattle SuperSonics relocation to Oklahoma City. Org is important in that context but not notable enough to warrant its own article. KuyaBriBri Talk 22:38, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. That's a good point.  As an alternative to deletion, I would also support merger if that becomes the consensus.  As a stand-alone entry, however, I don't think the article could ever be more than what it is now, which is basically a stub.  Chicken Wing (talk) 22:48, 9 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Neutral or Merge, the content should almost certainly be merged and the section on the effects on the community within the bigger article lengthened. I'm not sure if this article from ESPN does anything for notability for this org, but it should mention it if the group is notable. SMSpivey (talk) 07:40, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per this organization still exists and meets WP:NOTE. While the article could use more sources, I've found that most people discussing articles for deletion recommend improving articles rather than deleting them as the preferable solution to this problem. --DerRichter (talk) 20:36, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge per KuyaBriBri. Rlendog (talk) 20:02, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete This is not really a merge but rather the conclusion that this "group" if it really is a group with membership should get some brief mention in the main article on the Seattle SuperSonics relocation to Oklahoma City. The "group" is not nearly notable as an organization holding one rally where Shawn Kemp couldn't even be bothered to show up. In the end I wouldn't really think that the main article should get more than a couple of lines about the popular support for the Sonics to remain in Seattle. |►  ϋrбan яeneωaℓ  •  TALK  ◄| 01:21, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
