Solent Thrashers

AfDs for this article:
Solent Thrashers (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log · Stats)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I'll firstly establish that the previous AfD nomination for this page included it as part of a bulk nomination, and the Keep decision was made solely because each page merited individual attention.

Having given this page individual attention, and quite aside from the extremely non-encyclopedic tone and content it consists of (almost none of which is referenced), various reasons for deletion occur to me:

  • As detailed in the previous AfD nomination, it does not meet any specific notability guidelines for sports organisations laid out in WP:NSPORTS - it has had no nationally or internationally notable members/employees and has participated in no nationally or internationally notable events or activities.
  • WP:AUD - according to Wikipedian standards "attention solely from local media, or media of limited interest and circulation, is not an indication of notability" and at least one "national, or international source" is necessary - having searched google, google news, google scholar and google books I cannot find any national or international interest or sources, only local media and media of limited interest.
  • WP:ORGDEPTH - even though there are these local news references and references on specialist, enthusiast websites, almost all of this coverage is Trivial according to Misplaced Pages's standards - specifically:
    • sources that simply report meeting times, shopping hours or event schedules,
    • inclusion in lists of similar organizations
    • the season schedule or final score from sporting events,
    • routine communiqués announcing such matters as the hiring or departure of personnel,
    • brief announcements of mergers or sales of part of the business,
    • routine notices of the opening or closing of local branches, franchises, or shops,
    • quotations from an organization's personnel as story sources, or
    • passing mention, such as identifying a quoted person as working for an organization. WalkingOnTheB (talk) 13:11, 20 September 2014 (UTC)
