[edit] Canada national American football team
Non-notable, if such a team exists at all. I am Canadian and a lifelong sports fan, and I've never heard of such a team. Found no ghits, and article has no indication of players, coaches or a website. PKT 14:38, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
Keep. WP:INEVERHEARDOFIT isn't an argument for deletion. International sports teams are notable, and this one clearly exists as a moment's research shows. JulesH 15:32, 14 July 2007 (UTC)- Actually, Delete. Looking through the web site of the international association (IFAF) that the team is supposedly a member of, it doesn't look as though they've played in any of their tournaments. The junior Canadian team has won several tournaments, by the looks of it, but the senior team doesn't even appear to have ever played in one. JulesH 15:45, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
- Delete per JulesH. Note that I added this to Template:National sports teams of Canada a while ago, which has the effect of bloating the "what links here" for this article. heqs ·:. 19:29, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
- Delete as there's nothing here but an unsourced placeholder. I would have gone with "weak keep" on almost anything WP:V because they are playing in the top-level amateur league, but they've only joined in 2004 and seem to have no international track record even yet. --Dhartung | Talk 20:24, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
- The junior team is actually quite well known and probably should have its own article. Article would have junior or something like that in the title though. heqs ·:. 00:22, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
- Agreed. The junior team has won international tournaments sponsored by NFL, which clearly makes them notable. JulesH 11:43, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
