Ice hockey in Egypt[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

There is nothing to suggest that ice hockey is an established sport in Egypt, with no significant coverage to establish notability. Most of the sources here are Facebook posts by an amateur ice hockey club. The International Ice Hockey Federation does not recognise any ice hockey organising body in the country.

Delete: Per Larry. It's fine and dandy that this amateur outfit is trying to bootstrap hockey in Egypt; good luck to them. But this rather reminds me of the Scouting in Vatican City article, a notorious attempt to paper over "There isn't any" for purposes unknown. Article created by now-indeffed editor, and furthered by the SPA from the Anubis club, who may feel promotional Wikipedia articles to be easier to maintain than its now-vanished website. Fails the GNG, any measure of notability standard, as well as WP:NOTWEBHOST. Ravenswing 17:12, 23 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete One amateur team is not enough for an article about ice hockey in Egypt. If they ever do make it maybe we could get an inspirational sports movie about them. Howicus (Did I mess up?) 22:11, 24 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:NOTEVERYTHING. The majority of the citations are from Facebook which at last check is not a reliable or credible source. If Egypt ever gets to the point that they create a national team and start competing in international tournaments then this subject should be revisited. Until then, this article has no purpose.
