United Bowl

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

I cannot find any mention of this United Bowl in a reliable source, or the (outdoor) United Football League website. The article only has a vague reference to a fan site, and even then says the information may be outdated. Note there is a "United Bowl" in indoor football, but that is not this game/event.

 * Redirect and (possibly) merge with United Football League (2008), per lack of WP:N notability as of now. It may become a valid article in the future, but per WP:CRYSTAL, that's just not enough for an article. - Lilac Soul (talk • contribs • count) 19:12, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect I'm sorry, but do we really need a separate article about the championship game for a league that hasn't even scheduled its first game? Mandsford (talk) 21:52, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment One of my points, or a point that I meant to make, was that there isn't even any evidence that the championship game of this league will be called "United Bowl" so I don't think a redirect would be at all valid. If the redirect were anywhere it should be to United Indoor Football since that at least exists. Rameses The Ram (talk) 02:18, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect to United Football League (2008). Despite the notability of the league itself, it isn't clear IF they will take the field, and as such, a separate article for their supposed championship game is premature at best. --Mhking (talk) 00:45, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect to United Indoor Football (also delete the associated redirect United Bowl I as it will not be correct for the indoor league) per WP:CRYSTAL and WP:NOTABILITY. Hippopotamus (talk) 00:53, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Create disambiguation linking to both pages. J. Myrle Fuller (talk) 01:03, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Secondary comment. The information on the UFL comes from the Sam Boyd Stadium article, from which I carried the same sourcing over. I agree, it is inadequate as is. There seems to be confirmation of the place and date, at least mentioned in passing, which I've added, but not the name. It may have been a proposed name.J. Myrle Fuller (talk) 01:07, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Tertiary comment. The source appears to be this entry.J. Myrle Fuller (talk) 01:09, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
 * A quick Google search finds nothing for the United Bowl in this article in the first 4 or 5 pages (other than this article). Everything points to the indoor league. Hippopotamus (talk) 03:48, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, obviously there's going to be more information about an event that has taken place four times already than one that has yet to take place once. For instance, the name "World Bowl." NFL Europe held 15 of them, the World Football League only one. A quick Google search turns up no results on the WFL on the first page.J. Myrle Fuller (talk) 12:03, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Clearly, but you misunderstood me. The issue here us that they are NO hits from reputable sources, which is alarming.  That also shows it isn't notable at all. Hippopotamus (talk) 14:48, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment There's really no need to delete this article. Standleylake40 (talk) 01:56, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
 * This isn't a vote, so what is your reasoning? Hippopotamus (talk) 03:33, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
