[edit] Cincinnati RailRaiders

Cincinnati RailRaiders (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)
  • Delete Merge - After a year of being redirected to the Cincinnati Mighty Ducks team, a user undid the revision and replaced it with a page making it seem like the team like they played, when they did not. There is no chance of the RailRaiders playing since the franchise is now known as the Rockford IceHogs. The RailRaiders page has no more facts about them and thus should be removed from wikipedia forever redirected. Salisbury Steak (complaint dept. - contribs) 20:23, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep- Although the team never played they did exist. There are many pages of teams that "almost" played but were pulled at last second. Also remember, the owns of the Cincinnati Gardens (who was also the owners of the now defunct RailRaiders)are still saying they are trying to bring AHL hockey back to the area. The team probably would carry the Cincinnati RailRaiders name as well.--Cincydude55 04:44, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge and redirect. Team is notable enough to have an own section in the Cincinnati Mighty Ducks article, but there's no need to have an extra article. Malc82 13:53, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge redirect it to the Cincy Ducks article. I'm really not sure why it got resurrected in the first place. ccwaters 00:20, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

  • Merge and redirect, per above. The franchise itself has been transferred, and the team's website has been taken down. This is a footnote at best in Cincinnati hockey history. Should a local group secure an expansion franchise (although now there's an AHL affiliate for each NHL team, so further AHL expansion is unlikely) and revive the RailRaiders' name, the article can always be recreated.  RGTraynor  03:47, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
