Reno Barons[edit]

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

Non-notable indoor American football team that played half a season in 2011. I'm not finding enough sources that would make this team pass WP:ORGDEPTH. Tavix | Talk 16:43, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Per nom. ~~If the above reasons weren't enough, they also clearly do not meet WP:NSPORTS.~~ Bordwall(^talk⁄_ctrb) 17:01, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Bordwall: I appreciate the concern, but WP:NSPORTS doesn't cover teams. See Wikipedia:Notability_(sports)#Teams. Tavix | Talk 17:24, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Tavix: Oh! I'd never noticed that line. Thanks for the heads up! Bordwall(^talk⁄_ctrb) 17:39, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. I've made that same mistake before too. It just doesn't seem intuitive to have teams under WP:ORG and not WP:NSPORTS. I understand why though, and am not too concerned either way. Cheers, Tavix | Talk 18:11, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Non-notable minor league football team that never played a regular season game. Fails the notability guidelines for sports teams and other organizations per WP:ORG and WP:GNG for lack of significant coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources.
