[edit] Bahamas Shrimp Wranglers

Non-notable team (6 Google hits for the string) in a (amateur?) league that I can't verify exists. --Xcali 19:58, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep. I did find Google verification, although it was tricky. (Search string "Bahamas Football", then searched on results for "Shrimp", then had to look at the Google cache at http://66.102.7.104/search?q=cache:T1-eRz_NEhUJ:www.bahamasfootballassoc.com/team.html+Bahamas+Football+shrimp&hl=en&start=1 & found them listed for the Grand Bahama Football League 2003/2004 season.) Unfortunately, "non-noteable" is not a good reason to delete, so unless you can find good reason to list Grand Bahama Football League for VfD, it's a keeper. Sorry. -- llywrch 22:42, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • I looked at the actual website, it seems to me that both the team and the league are not notable. It doesn't seem much different than the amateur leagues that form through out the world. I know of several leagues and teams at my local park district. They're great and all that, but they don't belong in an encyclopedia. --Xcali 04:02, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
      • If that is your final answer, then when can we expect GBFL & the related articles to appear here? -- llywrch 22:56, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
        • I was going to wait to see how this turned out first. I figured there's no sense in wasting time on those if this is kept. --Xcali 20:03, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete notability not established. JamesBurns 06:42, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep seems noteable, as what llywrch says. It should be kept. LAGalaxyRock72
