Shooting arm sleeve

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

Delete per WP:N Initially PROD'd, but the template was removed without explanation. The subject lacks notability, and the article does not cite any sources. The article has been around for almost two years, with little improvement or exansion since, save for the uncited list of players who wear this accessory and the occasional spamlink.

 * Delete, I'm not finding any reliable references for this, mostly sites trying to sell them, and I don't see that this is notable enough to be covered. "Target for advertisement" isn't a reason for deletion in itself, but there's not enough context to maintain an encyclopedic article on this. Maybe redirect if an appropriate target can be found, but I see no reason for this to remain without some significant work. Hers fold  non-admin (t/a/c) 03:44, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per above; while the subject certainly exists, there isn't much in the way of sources that could be used to write an encyclopedic article about it. It can come back when some reviews or articles in relevant periodicals come around that discuss it.  Celarnor Talk to me  04:37, 25 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete No sources, thereby failing WP:N. tj9991 (talk | contribs) 05:56, 25 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete -wikipedia isn't a dictionary or a place for basketball jargon. How this could be globally notable I don't know. However if it is of note and "all the best players wear them" and I am wrong then it certainly should be expanded and reliably referenced to prove its worth. Looks like WP:OR to me.  ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦       $1,000,000? 09:27, 25 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete - I tried rather pathetically to find some sources for this article and couldn't come up with much beyond use of it as a general term in basketball related discussion, nothing specific. It may be a candidate for transwikiing to Wiktionary. Black-Velvet  15:26, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
