The Hot Corner[edit]

A non-notable group of college students who support their college baseball team. They have had two passing mentions in the local press, so don't meet our notability criteria. Gwernol 20:09, 8 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete, the mentions are relatively trivial. Ab e g92contribs 21:14, 8 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per PROD and nom. It's basically a group of supporters. feydey 22:56, 8 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Should not be deleted per this:

"Subjective evaluations are not relevant for determining whether a topic warrants inclusion in Wikipedia. Notability criteria do not equate to personal or biased considerations, such as: "never heard of this", "an interesting article", "topic deserves attention", "not famous enough", "very important issue", "popular", "I like it", "only of interest to [some group]", etc."

So it IS Notable. And deserves inclusion. UAbaseballbutters 23:20, 8 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No, we have not applied subjective criteria. You are required to show that the topic of the article "has been the subject of non-trivial coverage by two or more published works" (the primary criteria of WP:N). Neither of the sources you have provided are substantial coverage of The Hot Corners, they are passing mentions at best. No-one has said anything remotely close to "I don't like it" we have pointed out that the sources do not meet our notability requirements. Gwernol 23:37, 8 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - fails WP:NOTE; trivial mentions are not acceptable. --Haemo 23:55, 8 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as a non notable cheering section. Montco 02:45, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The Hot Corner, now has four sources of local press (three written newspaper articles, and one youtube video of a broadcast) I would not refer to all of them as merely passing mentions or trivial. UAbaseballbutters
Delete Okay... as the article stands right now... the first four external links look to be non-main-page links. So let's look at them... The first is an article about how very few people made the trip to Tucson for the game. I would call this a passing mention. It acknowledges the existence of The Hot Corner. The second article mentions The Hot Corner once. Again, the article is about who is and isn't at games. The third article is about an all-day baseball experience. It mentions two people as being part of The Hot Corner. The fourth is a 90-second video that actually offers some verification of who the president of The Hot Corner is... I don't know if I would call the video a reliable source.
The article is a mess. Filled with unverifiable trivia, quotes, officers, etc. -- Ben 01:40, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
