[edit] Charlotte Fusion

This article was created with the intention that this NIFL team would be a reality, but I have checked around on the internet today, and it seems there is no such franchise. IMO, this article, even though it's short, shouldn't stay since it appears the team doesn't exist. Pilotguy ^{(talk ¦ ✉)} 00:24, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - until they exist and are notable (per Royboycrashfan) —ERcheck @ 01:02, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Note that they are not even listed on the NIFL team page. —ERcheck @ 01:06, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per above. --Khoikhoi 01:59, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, nn, not now. --Terence Ong 10:30, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Seems to me the fact they were supposed to have a team and it collapsed is still somewhat notable. Apparently some people expect this team to exist, and the fact that it didn't work out as planned is not the same as the team never existing or being a pipe dream; the explanation here is better than no mention at all.

• Weak keep per ProhibitOnions. There is obviously more story here, waiting to be written; this stub will be helpful come that time. Smerdis of Tlön 14:04, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Unnecessary, surely. How much of a hassle is it to create an article? All of fifteen seconds? RGTraynor 16:07, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. The evidence for even the existence of a Charlotte franchise in the league (which itself is two cuts below the Arena Football League) is extraordinarily scanty; there are eight unique Google hits, and one two-sentence mention back in January in the Charlotte newspaper that negotiations to secure a franchise were underway [1]. This isn't remotely close (yet) to being notable. RGTraynor 14:51, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per ProhibitOnions. --Siva1979^{Talk to me} 15:29, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Delete It seems to me that anything that is DOA (as the article itself admits) is pretty much non - notable. Yes maybe it had potential, but not only did it not happen, but,like many things, it, unfortunately for those involved, didn't even start to happen.Captainj 20:23, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete uncited article on team which apparently never existed in reality. Just zis Guy you know? 21:56, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
