Seattle National Hockey League team[edit]

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

Seems like a good case for WP:CRYSTAL and doesn't meet notability per WP:GNG or WP:ORG. The articles from the Seattle Times and King5 Broadcasting seem to discuss possibilities, but no actual decisions. All else are promotional / primary sources from Facebook and the campaign website.

Delete. Pure speculation, obvious fail of WP:CRYSTAL. Reso lute 14:19, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Speculation and looks like obvious redirect to who ever owns NHL Northwest twitter/facebook page campaigns. Yearsago (talk) 16:33, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
KEEP wait & see what happens. this subject is getting a great deal of coverage in sports news currently, & the article is reasonably neutral & non-speculative (with room for improvement, ofc) Lx 121 (talk) 17:37, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Yeah, this is a frequent problem at the Hockey WikiProject ... delete "Seattle," insert "Quebec City, Hartford, Milwaukee, Kansas City, Oklahoma City, Saskatoon, Tierra del Fuego ..." This is the answer to the "Keep" advocate above, because if we kept every ephemeral article about every supposed Sure Thing Move over which bored sportswriters at deadline are speculating, we'd have articles for dozens of teams that never did and never will exist. WP:CRYSTAL violation, obviously. Ravenswing 17:41, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Premature speculation, per WP:CRYSTAL. WP:NOTNEWS also apples here. - BilCat (talk) 18:25, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Per above. If the situation changes, can always be re-written/re-created. Patken4 (talk) 22:09, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. NHL Northwest is just using Wiki as an advertisment forum. Seattlehawk94 —Preceding undated comment added 22:12, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Seattle never really had a National Hockey League team. Without the SuperSonics, their two current professional franchises are the Seahawks and the Mariners. Delete. WisconsinBoyClevelandRocks228844 (talk) 03:42, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:HAMMER. Ansh666 03:58, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above points. Much of this information could be merged into the Potential National Hockey League expansion article until such time as a franchise relocates to Seattle or the city is awarded an expansion franchise. shaggy (talk) 20:03, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete by WP:CRYSTAL- complete speculation. If the vote is nay on 02 JUL 2013, we likely won't know for weeks where the potential franchise will be anyways. Fiset35 (talk) 20:45, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Glendale council vote passed, Coyotes are staying in the desert. Canuck^{89 (have words with me)} 11:01, July 3, 2013 (UTC)
