[edit] Tim Cone

I'm not sure what to make of this article. The Alaska Aces are a hockey team in Anchorage, not a basketball team in the Phillipines. User:Zoe|^(talk) 04:54, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

• Speedy Delete as silly vandalism. Why would a team from Alaska play in a Phillippines basketball competition in any case? Keep and expand given evidence from anonymous user. Capitalistroadster 05:01, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. A quick Google search ("Tim Cone" Philippines) verifies the existence of the Philippines Basketball Association[1] and a team called the Alaska Aces and that Tim Cone is their coach. See Aces home page] for example.
• Cleanup. There seems to be some confusion but there's definitely a Tim Cone in Philippine basketball. Manila Times, MSN. Durova 07:09, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - the article itself links to another wikipedia article that confirms his identity as the coach of the most successful basketball team in the professional basketball league of the phillipines. I think that it is important to keep this kind of thing, since we tend to have too many articles about USA and Europe and not enough about unrepresented countries like the phillippines. Coach of the most successful team is very notable. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 10:21, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep per anon user. As Zordrac notes, this article is one small part of combating systemic bias. ESkog | ^Talk 20:48, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

OK, I withdraw my nomination. I said I didn't know what to make of it.  :) User:Zoe|^(talk) 02:57, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
