Speedy deletion was declined. I can find no sources that this team ever existed, or competed in an international competition. I. A. 08:30, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Speedy is certainly appropriate, given that the national basketball teams of Norfolk Island are the Boomers and the Opals. Hoax. Colon el Tom 00:37, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete. hoax. Norfolk Island does not have nation status in international basketball. LibStar (talk) 00:54, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I don't think it was a hoax, perhaps a misunderstanding of this. Still, there is no "national team" (other than Australia) and therefore no "Performance at Summer Olympics" to record. Melburnian (talk) 01:10, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as lacking in-depth coverage by independent third party sources. If such sources are added to the article, feel free to ping my talk page. Stuartyeates (talk) 22:25, 2 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, not a hoax, as Norfolk Island does have a basketball federation separate to that of Australia (see here), a separate country code assigned by FIBA, and presumably a national team as well. However, they do not seem to play in organised international competition, nor does there seem to be any third party coverage of the team.
