Namibia national ice hockey team

Declined speedy nomination. Original speedy deletion rationale was, "There is no Namibian ice hockey team, only inline hockey is played there." If the speedy request is to be believed, this is potentially a hoax article. SchuminWeb (Talk) 03:53, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Clearly not a hoax, since the fact that Namibia is a member of the IIHF is referenced: [1]. The article states they are registered, and that they currently do not participate in any world championship events. I don't see any hoax. Reso lute 04:16, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rename and rewrite: I created this article in good faith that there was such a team, based on the only source I had at the time. Other sources [2] indicate that Namibia only as an inline hockey team. I strongly suggest moving this article to Namibia Ice and InLine Hockey Association and rewriting it accordingly. Flibirigit (talk) 04:20, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and Rename per Flibirigit. While Namibia may not have an ice hockey team, they are still members of the IIHF, and while they may not be active with an ice hockey team, they do have an active inline team. Kaiser matias (talk) 08:02, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and rename At the risk of being repetitive -- no hoax here. Ecoleetage (talk) 14:03, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep/rename/rewrite Jamaica had a bobsleigh team and it does officaly exist --Numyht (talk) 14:37, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I did some rewrite based on the NIIH website, to reflect that this is a national inline hockey team rather than an ice hockey team. So far as I can tell, plans for anything other than roller hockey team are on ice. Mandsford (talk) 17:36, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
