NFHL

Non-notable fantasy hockey league. Prod tag was removed. OhNo itsJamie ^Talk 20:14, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete with extreme prejudice. Do you have any idea how many fantasy leagues there are for hockey, baseball, American football, the rest of the world's football, cricket, jai alai, and, for all I know, mah jong? If you let one of them in, where would it stop? Any particular league is automatically non-notable. Fan1967 20:21, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, per nom. Just to be sure, I checked to make sure there were no fantasy mah jong leagues. Kuru ^talk 20:29, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You never know, it might be a golden untapped market. Fan1967 20:35, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Count me in. I'll bring the beer. Kuru ^talk 21:31, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Plese don't delete this article, this league is diffrent from many fantasy hockey leagues. This one is highly updated all the time and so many take part in it, other fantasy use simulation programs, but our league is diffrent by far, its just like the NHL but its just fantasy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dhah99 (talk • contribs)

Can you help us quantify 'so many'? How many users are there? It looks like your message board is geeting about 10 posts a week - is that normal? There are less than one news items posted per month. Please don't think we're trying to shut you out; we simply have fairly strict guidelines on what is and isn't a notable website (look here for details: WP:WEB). You have every right to be proud of the site you and your friends have built - it's very nice, and very creative. We just have a limit as to what we can include here; per Mr. 1967's concerns outlined above. Kuru ^talk 21:31, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Not notable. Bucketsofg 20:58, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, this is certainly not notable at all. However, I might disagree with Fan1967 slightly, in that I could imagine a case where a rotisserie league of some sort would qualify for inclusion: For example, if there was some Championship Fantasy League, say something analogous to the World Series of Poker, where there was a $10K buyin, and the winner was crowned "World Champ of Fantasy", something like that, I'd consider that notable. Of course, this is not such a case and thus delete with extreme prejudice. --Deville (Talk) 21:20, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Obvious delete per nom (although I concur with Deville's assessment that a prospective uber-league may be notable). Joe 21:25, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

OK, conceivably, theoretically, such a notable fantasy league could exist, though I've never heard of one that would qualify. Regardless, this one isn't it. Fan1967 21:33, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Very much agreed. --Deville (Talk) 21:34, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment there are 30 people in this league and we are active trust me, i know the message boards dont show much that's because all 30 of us have AOL messenger and most of us are always on there to talk. The commishioner just got engaged and he has spent less time on the league but he emailed all of us saying he will be back in a week or so with everything up and running smoothly.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Dhah99 (talk • contribs)
- In a world of over 6,500,000,000 people, 30 people don't seem to be enough to make something notable. Delete --TBC^{??? ??? ???} 23:03, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
whatever if i could make 6,500,000,000 teams i would oh well just delete it, you guys are haters.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Dhah99 (talk • contribs)
Delete per above. --Khoikhoi 02:17, 27 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep: only because the article is less than 12 hours old, and I'd like to give it a chance to establish notability. (But it's going to need something good.) Peter Grey 06:21, 27 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep due to my belief in extreme inclusion. Wikipedia is not paper, and I would have no problem letting any and all fantasy leagues to be included in Wikipedia. It's an online reference source, plus this inclusikon of this article would not get in the way of any other page. --Nick Dillinger 09:38, 27 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- This is supposed to be an online encyclopedia, not a handwritten replacement for Google. --Calton | Talk 02:01, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Trivial to the extreme. Besides, I don't want to see Wikipedia drowning in crap. --Calton | Talk 02:01, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Nick Dillinger are u from vancouver? from your profile it says your a vancouver canucks fan..im a huge one. kinda rare to find another fan on wiki

Delete, as non-notable as essentially every other fantasy sports league, if not more so per statements above. --Kinu ^t/_c 03:44, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Kinu. Sandstein 12:09, 1 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
