[edit] Minnesota Fury

Minnesota Fury (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Youth/amateur basketball club. We don't generally consider those to be notable. Author has reposted (after two speedies) and attempted to assert notability, so bringing here for definitive decision. NawlinWiki 21:54, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

  • I think there are probably a lot of elite amateur sports teams in the Twin Cities, but I don't know any of them that are notable. About the most publicity they seem to get is bumper stickers on minivans or SUVs with the name of some traveling team. The individual players aren't notable until they get coverage in the paper (and not just the Minnesota Sun, either.) Delete. --Elkman (Elkspeak) 23:16, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Come to think of it, I can't find any coverage of club sports teams in the Minnesota Sun -- at least in the suburbs I checked. They only cover high school sports teams and the occasional disc golf tournament. So much for eliteness, I guess. --Elkman (Elkspeak) 23:24, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
Tip to nominator: Consider using the proposed deletion process for uncontroversial deletions, such as this one. Thanks! -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 06:28, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
