This nom really concerns me. This editor has been nothing if not civil, and bold, and to have his first efforts deleted outright would only serve to discourage a potentially valuable contributor; we need all the quality editors we can get. If this gets deleted I might just consider Misplaced Pages:Deletion review. -- œ 21:22, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

- Oh it's nothing personal against you, please don't take it that way. This isn't just some typical inclusionist rant about keeping non-notable stuff, I'm just concerned for the editor in this case.. for the good of the encyclopedia. And in the spirit of WP:IAR I think we should make an exception in this case because like I said.. this is no different than a high school article in terms of notability, and we all know what Jimbo says about high school articles. I for one happen to agree with him. -- œ 00:59, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
- I fully appreciatte that the editor here might not like us (if we delete), but I don't for one believe that WP:IAR should be involked, the editor, however, should have just WP:ADOPT shown to him, and a full explaniation of WP:COI, WP:RS, and WP:NOTE explained to him. By extention of this, Latrobe City Pacers does not have a article yet, and that team is in the state league (based in the Moe area). Also, if this AfD passes in the keep nature, we could be setting a precedent that all small teams that have articles in newspapers could have Misplaced Pages entries. I could, for one, name about 20 articles that could be formed, should we start allowing every small start-up football/basketball/any other sporting club on Misplaced Pages. -- Sk8er5000 (talk) 03:37, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
