[edit] Newington Nighthawks

A youth (15-17 age group) icehockey team, article makes no claims of notability and neither does the club's website. See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Connecticut Renegades. (There's no sign that the Northeast Midget Hockey League is in any way notable either, it gets one ghit, for "Northeast Midget Hockey League", which is the League's own website.)

  • Speedy A7. No assertion of notability. Tevildo 12:30, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. The subject in fact has notability from the league they're in and the league appears to be notable enough. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by BoojiBoy (talk • contribs) 13:10, June 23, 2006.

    • Not that it's relevant to this AFD, but in what sense is the league notable ? There are indeed ghits for NEMHL, but if you look for non-NEMHL sites, the best that there is is The Saratogian. Angus McLellan (Talk) 18:52, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
    • Actually, upon further thought I'm more neutral towards this, but I don't think it should be speedied so count my vote as a keep if it will allow full discussion. BoojiBoy 20:26, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, possibly speedy. Per nom. Also, keeping this is encouraging the use of Wikipedia as a collection of indiscriminate information, in this case the membership and stats of any sports team anywhere. FreplySpang 13:13, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
