 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was keep. But with no prejudice against re-nominating individual articles, one at a time, if an analysis of sources demonstrates that there might not be sources for an individual team. Lankiveil (speak to me) 10:10, 24 February 2018 (UTC)

Singapore women's junior national softball team

 * Comment: Puerto Rico's team did win the last two bronze medals (even if the team's article doesn't reflect this yet). See Junior Women's Softball World Championship. ---Sluzzelin talk  15:38, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep all. What is going on this week with women's articles at AfD (even a Nancy Drew book). Is this to fight back because women are celebrating the centennial of getting the vote in the UK (USA not till 1920). These look no different than the articles in Category:Men's junior national softball teams. It is useful to have entries on all the teams in a international competition.

 * Keep - article(s) could use expansion and improved referencing, not deletion per WP:ATD. Hmlarson (talk) 03:24, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment Agreed that the articles could be about notable teams, but the big problem I see is these articles appeared to have been created for spam purposes. The links to "International Softball Federation" in each article is a spam link. Unless someone has a particular article they would like to save, I feel like it may be better to let someone start over with these. Lonehexagon (talk) 14:44, 14 February 2018 (UTC)
 * The linked website definitely used to be the ISF's homepage, so it doesn't seem like this was intentional spam - more likely just an unsuspecting editor copy+pasting an old article without much care for making sure the link was still active. Sellyme Talk 08:08, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, North America1000 13:15, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep I agree with above that they could certainly use expansion, but I don't see reason for deletion. Lonehexagon (talk) 23:51, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep Yeah these articles do need some expansion but that does not mean for deletion so I'm sorry I am voting keep there. Animation is developing 00:25, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep Nominator's statement is insufficient and provides no reason whatsoever for deletion other than WP:JUSTNOTNOTABLE. Smartyllama (talk) 19:44, 16 February 2018 (UTC)


 * Replies. First off, this has nothing to do with women or men, considering that I also started Articles for deletion/British Virgin Islands men's junior national softball team at the same time. The other "keeps" are all very nice, but if there are no reliable, independent, indepth sources, things beyonf routine coverage, then there is no reason to keep them. Basically, the WP:BURDEN is on those wanting to keep these articles that there are sufficient good sources for e.g. the United States Virgin Islands women's junior national softball team (to take one from an English speaking country, which should help in finding sources). I couldn't find such sources online, and no one else has provided such sources here either, making the keeps, while numerous, basically invalid (at the moment).
