This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Basketball. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting.

You can help maintain the list on this page:

  • To add a new AfD discussion (once it has already been opened on WP:AFD):
  • Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
  • You can also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Basketball}}<small>—~~~~</small> to it, which will inform users that it has been listed here.
  • There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
  • Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
  • You can also add and remove links to other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Basketball.

Please note that adding an AfD to, or removing it from, this page does not add it to, or remove it from, the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page, before adding it to this page.

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

[edit] Basketball

[edit] Cameron Crazies

Cameron Crazies (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View AfD)

This article concerns a loose affiliation of fans of Duke Blue Devils men's basketball. The only claim of notability seems to stem from an online ESPN column that referred to them as the rowdiest fans in the land. Aside from stating that they are indeed fans of Duke's teams, and that they are in fact rowdy, this stub has absolutely no purpose or encyclopedic worth. It's composed of one paragraph of casual observation and two links to sports publications acknowledging their existence. ˉˉanetode╦╩ 20:59, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

  • Merge to Duke Blue Devils men's basketball. Generally fan organizations are covered in the article about the team that they are fans of. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 23:44, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep or Merge - probably the most well known fan section in the United States. Still probably not anything that can't be mentioned in Duke Blue Devils men's basketball either --T-rex 03:43, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep (without prejudice to merging) - If any fan section deserves an article it's Duke's. 43.5K Ghits to "cameron crazies" And 2,300 in Google News specifically. de Bivort 08:31, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
