Tuvalu national basketball team

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:V – no evidence in reliable sources (that I can find) that Tuvalu has ever had a national basketball team. The single source listed is The Complete Guide to National Symbols and Emblems, a rather dubious reference work that seems to have relied on Wikipedia as a source. Basketball in Tuvalu, which is actually sourced, makes no reference to a national team, and, based on the links to the page, Tuvalu has never participated in any FIBA or non-FIBA tournaments. Edit: going to add more article from the same creator to this AfD, for the same reasons.  IgnorantArmies  (talk)  12:35, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

how is the source dubious? what makes you think that it relied on Wikipedia as a source? Please clarify further. Stephreef (talk) 13:16, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete both no evidence of meeting wp:v. Only book mention is a Wikipedia mirror from a self-published source. 2601:586:C003:1700:982C:15B7:571B:BEED (talk) 19:30, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
