Contested prod. Amateur basketball tournament. No assertion of notability. Only reference is a Facebook page. Delete.  Blanchardb -Me•MyEars•MyMouth- timed 00:20, 30 July 2010 (UTC)


 * The only online source is a facebook page, however, I do have video of the tournament, and statistical analysis by our commissioners. While I am of the amateur Wikipedian variety, I feel the deletion of this article would place the rights of the first-timer to article creation and editing on the chopping block. As a human, my rights shall not be infringed upon regarding the exchange of information in the global stage. Should there be a physical rule regarding the number of fans/followers, and the league be unable to meet said number, I will comply for deletion. Until that time however, I shall perceiver onward in my right to inform other people who would like to know of this league, especially those who hardly know of the CW Television Network at all. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jefe619 (talk • contribs) 00:27, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Please take a look at our inclusion guidelines. To be included in Wikipedia, this tournament has to be the subject of significant coverage in third-party reliable sources. That would mean statistical analysis done by someone your commissioners did not ask.
 * Also, please that if Wikipedia deletes your article, that does not infringe on your rights, since Facebook is viable as an alternative. --  Blanchardb -Me•MyEars•MyMouth- timed 00:34, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

I see, this rule does make since because of the facebook alternative. however, as the tournament is conducted on private property and no non-invited guests are allowed, the probability of a 3rd party statistician being able to provide analysis is highly improbable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jefe619 (talk • contribs) 00:41, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Since the tournament is conducted on private property before an audience limited to invited guests, and there has been no significant coverage of the event in reliable independent sources, it seems unlikely that it will be able to qualify for inclusion in Wikipedia. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 01:55, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
