The result was KEEP (non-admin closure). Per calling and observance of WP:SNOW. Alpha 4615 (talk) 22:09, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ejection (sports)[edit]

The article has been tagged requesting verification for over a year and has not been done. Thus finding reliable sources to verify the information has failed. Pinkkeith (talk) 16:36, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep WP:SOFIXIT. The concept is well-known in sport, and a scan through official rule books and news articles would easily confirm the notability and influence of ejections on athletic events. There's no deadline for completing Wikipedia articles, so I don't understand that part of the nom rationale. Townlake (talk) 16:55, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment My rational comes from reason for deletion point six. I would also like to see a list of these scans so they could be added. --Pinkkeith (talk) 17:25, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Townlake. The Major League Baseball rule book was easy enough to find. Other sources should be also. Rklear (talk) 18:04, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, inherently notable subject. Stifle (talk) 20:10, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep. Inherently notable subject. I don't know what WP policy establishes a time limit on when articles need to be cited but if there is one pls point it out to me. MLB official rule book is easy to find online; FIFA, NFL/CFL, and NBA/FIBA should be just as easy. KuyaBriBri^Talk 20:24, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - this is definitely a notable practice in sports. Alpha 4615 (talk) 20:50, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and snowball. It's good that the lack of sources has come up. I'll link to the football ones now (actual football that is played in that other place called The World :D ), and obviously there will be secondary sources on sports sections of the reliable news sites.
