San Jose Diablos

This team article is the only one from any of the teams in the International Volleyball Association. Since it was formed in the league's final year of existence, it does not deserve to have that distinction. It is also a stub, poorly sourced, and poorly written. Instead of having just one team article, have there be no team articles. Soxrock24 (talk) 17:49, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into the IVA article. Except there's no real information to merge... I redirected it back to IVA, but the rdr itself could be deleted. –SJ + 18:14, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have of late been directing my attention to other topics in sports history. However, I will devote some time to improving these IVA articles (not written by me) with sourced information. I do know that Sports Illustrated magazine included weekly updates on this league during the late 1970s; however, I will have to go to my storage locker to dig up the paper copies. I doubt that the SI website has archived these older volumes. i also have a San Jose Diablos pennant that I may photograph.

The result of the discussion was to merge. Soxrock24 (talk) 15:55, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
