Delete: The league was a scam, I've been skeptical about this league, There is no games listed and I've heard reports the league was a scam.--Bhockey10 (talk) 03:58, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

weak delete "Scam" might be a bit strong, though it might also be accurate. It seems this league was created with big dreams and little funding. It did exist briefly, it seems to have folded, and it generated very little notice, if google search is any indication. Reso lute 03:12, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: This AfD was listed based on the fact that this article is a HOAX; however, this is not the case and it is very deceiving to state this. Firstly, as can be seen by the league's website, there did exist a league. It seems as though, like Resolute said, this league formed, existsed briefly, and then disbanded once it became clear that the founder was not interested in paying his bills. The legal troubles of this league can be seen in the following legitimate news article: [1], [2], [3], [4]. Further, this article states that games were indeed played: [5]. Here are some articles discussing the creation of the league and tryouts for teams: [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11]. I don't want to spend hours on my comment here, but if need be, I could easily find more articles. Clearly, this article is not a hoax, rather, a league that was never really able to find its feet. The true question to be asked is if this article passes WP:N, and by the sources I just posted, one could argue that it does. Anyways, I would hate to see those users commenting on this AfD do so without a proper background, so here you go. But for the time being, with this article listed as a hoax, it's an easy keep. – Nurmsook! ^talk... 18:44, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
