This article was deleted by a WP:PROD in January 2010. It was restored on 16 Feb. after this discussion, but there is still no assertion of notability. I also don't see reliable sources for anything except a minor citation of the rink relocation. As such, the article seems to fail WP:N, WP:RS, and WP:V; a tag saying as much has been in place a month. Furthermore, I can't find any evidence of notability via Google. -Phoenixrod (talk) 20:53, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It is worth mentioning that it is a different game than the main broomball entry. It is hard finding sources when stuff from the governing body of broomball at Tech isn't considered credible. I would ask for some more time to track down articles from The Lode (Michigan Tech's Student paper), The Mining Gazette(City of Houghton's Paper), and the alumini mailings. I have articles about certain games but nothing so much describing the sport as a whole, which is why I did not include them. If you wanted a bunch of articles relating to individual games, those could be included. --Donabin2012 (talk) 13:31, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If it's "worth mentioning", why is it not discussed in third-party sources? I just don't see notability here. You can certainly improve the article during this discussion to show notability, if you can. -Phoenixrod (talk) 21:38, 31 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge/redirect. It's worth about two sentences at Michigan Tech. tedder (talk) 01:40, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge - it isn't important enough to have its own article. It should be within the university page or list of university-related incidients. Whenaxis (talk) 11:35, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Wikipedia is not Facebook, and this material is not analyzed by secondary sources. Just because something exists does not mean is deserves a Wikipedia article. Abductive (reasoning) 01:31, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
