This company (a private sports training facility in the USA) does not seem to have been the subject of significant coverage in reliable secondary sources. I've reviewed the sources, and they are very poor for a newly created article: A mixture of irrelevant articles, brief mentions, press releases and 404s. The quality of the article does not seem to have improved much since it was last draftified. This article was never approved via the AFC process.

There is not a single press release, we've checked every source and not a single one is a 404. They are one of three Official FINA Training Centres in the entire world, are a designated training site for USA Wrestling, the United States Olympic team, and are an official Olympic and Paralympic training site. These sources are the same if not extremely similar to IMG Academy which has no notability. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMG_Academy Mooneys44 (talk) 15:48, 19 November 2021 (UTC) - Strike sock.

Comment - This is one of the sources from the article: [1], are you telling me this isn't s press release, @Mooneys44? Salimfadhley (talk) 16:16, 19 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

One needs to avoid WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS. No precedent is ever set by any article for any other. If it were we would have a brutally fast descent into idiocracy Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 07:23, 21 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The first half is written by and authored by Inside Lacrosse. Sure. We'll remove that one instance even though it has original content written by a third party.

Delete: WP:ADMASQ is evident here. I have found regurgitated press releases, a "You are not allowed to access this server" message, and am unconvinced about reference quality. There are sufficient references to prevent one from going into detail without huge effort. I smell UPE and a tag team of editors called "We" who may be sock or meat puppets. At the very least WP:TNT and creation of excellence of referencing. It is not evident thagt this passes WP:NCORP. Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 07:19, 21 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
