Sunshine Coast Cricket Association

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

PROD contested on the grounds that I used the word "team" rather than association. Either way, this local cricket association is not notable. Joseph2302 (talk) 22:37, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
 * The nominator implies that the contestation of the PROD was some sort of pedantic nit-picking, but it was not. The argument given was that amateur teams are not notable, but that certainly doesn't necessarily carry over to governing bodies that oversee many teams. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 23:01, 27 November 2016 (UTC)

 * delete fails WP:ORG. gnews search is very bare. No inherent notability of sporting associations unless national or international.  LibStar (talk) 07:49, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:CRIN, which sets the notability threshold for Australian clubs at grade cricket level. Granted, this is an association, but it is operating below grade cricket - i.e. the best players in the whole association will still be below grade cricket level. Professional cricket in the region is represented by the Sunshine Coast Scorchers playing in the Brisbane Grade Cricket competition. StAnselm (talk) 09:13, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Merge with Sunshine Coast Scorchers per what StAnselm said. --RockerballAustralia (talk) 10:17, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
 * he did not say merge. Secondly this association represents a competition. The scorchers is an actual team. LibStar (talk) 10:39, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
 * your source checking is sub par. The article has a link to the Association's website. The sites hompage says, in part, this "In 2015-2016 the competition comprised 62 Senior Teams and 97 Junior Teams as well as its flagship structure in the Brisbane Grade Competition, The Sunshine Coast Scorchers" . There for parts of StAnselm's arguments seem to support merging the two.
 * I wouldn't expect you to look at the Association's competition rules but it does seem to treat the Scorchers as some form of representative club of the Association. Rule 18.3 in particular. While I'm at it Rule 9.2 of the SCCA competition rules says "Any 1st Grade Scorcher Player may return to play SCCA sanctioned matches for their nominated Club in 1st Div. and any 2nd Grade Scorcher Player may return to 2nd Div." --RockerballAustralia (talk) 11:27, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

this article i recommend getting rid of Sunshine Coast Cricket Association wikipedia article as this organization does not get much coverage Jonnymoon96 (talk) 01:34, 20 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete
 * Delete. As above, local sports team with no significant coverage from third-party sources. Deathlibrarian (talk) 09:17, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment, all opinions which incorrectly label the subject of this article as a "team" ought to be discounted by the closing admin as clearly they have not looked closely. Lankiveil (speak to me) 00:20, 27 December 2016 (UTC).
