Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Newton Nite Hawks

The Nite Hawks were relevant for the reasons listed by the poster above. Additionally, the Nite Hawks were also covered by the UPI, the Armed Forces Network, and appeared in news outlets throughout the United States (IL, TX, WA, AZ, NY, GA to name a few) during the European tour in summer of 1977. As stated in the article, this was a historical event in American football. The legacy of the Nite Hawks and the Intercontinental Football League (Al Davis and Tex Schramm headed the NFL committee to put the IFL together) was the model for NFL Europe 15 years later. Please understand this is a new article and additional resources and citations are in progress will be continuously updated. A review of Wikipedia yielded over 118 other teams and leagues in the category “Semi Professional Football”. The fact that the Nite Hawks were from a small town and made such a contribution to the game is what makes this article worthy of retention.
