Academic Sports League[edit]

This competition is a spinoff/scrimmage event of the United States Academic Decathlon, which itself is a notable competition. I would argue that the National Championship is a notable event, but I would doubt that any of the lower-level events would be independently notable, even the much longer running and intense California competition, as they don't have sufficient independent reliable sources to justify splitting them off from the main article.

This article might better belong at the Acadec Scores wiki, which doesn't have the same requirements for notability that we do. NW (Talk) 01:05, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, may I point out that the ASL is the largest league for AcDec east of the Mississippi and the biggest donator of scholarships in the country. That is certainly notable.Cssiitcic (talk) 01:09, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Also, ASL is not a scrimmage of USAD, it is official Round 1 competitionCssiitcic (talk) 01:11, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment It's a great achievement on the part of the Erie City School District, and the Erie Times-News is to be commended for giving this the same attention that it provides to athletics in the area. On the other hand, it seems to be unique to Erie, and doesn't seem to have gotten the coverage from multiple independent sources to even meet WP:GNG [1], and the claims of being the largest donator of scholarships don't seem to have attracted national attention. It should receive prominent mention in the district article, and, if redirected, the title should first be moved to something a little more Erie. Mandsford 17:33, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:ORG. What little notability it has is both local and by association only. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 21:24, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
