1967–68 MJHL season[edit]

Another MJHL season, unlike other AfD's, this has content but no references to reliable sources to verify this information, and a non notable minor league, warrants article for league but not individual seasons. S_RX 01:43, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree !!! The MHJL has a rich hockey history. It's a "junior" league that at one point challenged for the Memorial Cup. Other sites would welcome this info. As for references many are listed, a lot of articles on here are hard to check. Hockeyal (talk) 02:28, 20 August 2008 (UTC)HockeyAl[reply]

Comment Hockeyal, you need to start communicating with people on your userpage. I've observed and even tried to talk to you for almost a year now, along with others, but you ignore our messages. Use your userpage! DMighton (talk) 16:19, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Junior leauges are normally not notable. Even if it does have a "rich history" --- what makes it notable rich history?--Paul McDonald (talk) 17:44, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Junior leagues ARE generally notable, MINOR leagues are not. DMighton (talk) 16:19, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Request please supply a link to some consensus, policy, guideline, etc that shows that junior leagues are generally notable.--Paul McDonald (talk) 19:18, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment While its not me that made the comment. I would like to note that all it really has to do is have sources from multiple independant reliable sources and be verifiable. Which one of the top junior leagues of its time most certainly will be able to do. The age of these seasons will of course make it harder to find on the internet, but there is almost undoubtably many reliable sources out there on paper. -Djsasso (talk) 19:50, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into one The league is notable and the seasons are semi-notable... but notable as a whole. This and the others should be merges into something like List of OHL seasons. DMighton (talk) 16:19, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge as per DMighton. I'd also like to correct a statement, which pertains to hockey terminology: minor professional leagues are notable, but "minor leagues" are also used to refer to sub-junior youth leagues, which are not notable. Ravenswing 17:44, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep but I could see myself agreeing with merge. We have long stated that junior leagues seasons were notable when it came to the entire league, but were not notable for individual teams. I don't see why this league should be any different from any of the other junior leagues season pages. -Djsasso (talk) 18:02, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per DMighton. Reso lute 22:11, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per above - one season in a junior league does not strike me as notable, but add them all together and you probably have a FL in there. On a related note, Manitoba Junior Hockey League could use a bit of cleanup, as it looks like a flock of peacocks has swarmed all over sections of the article.
