Vancouver Furious George[edit]

rec league sports team. On a side note, I vaguely remember a 90ies punk band with the same name ccwaters 18:40, 14 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Furious George is a men's (open) ultimate touring team, not a rec league (www.vul.bc.ca) sports team. I'd like to correct the name to "Vancouver Furious George" to avoid confusion with the 90ies punk band you mention. Seumono 18:43, 14 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment the band in question was on Lookout! Records, and is listed in allmusic.com. I'd say they are borderline per WP:MUSIC ccwaters 18:48, 14 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Please excuse my ignorance, this is my first entry (which is why i'm copying your markup). Does changing the name to "Vancouver Furious George" allow the entry to remain? I do not see a "move" tab on my page, so I'm not sure how to rename the article. Seumono 18:52, 14 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If it is decided that your team is notable it would probably be named something like "Furious George (Ultimate)" ccwaters 10:57, 15 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Changed to band. Keep and move to Furious George. PT ^(s-s-s-s) 20:28, 14 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh that's right. That is George Tabb of Maximum RocknRoll fame. ccwaters 02:40, 15 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Whoa, but now the band is afd'd, and the ultimate frisby team is not. the frisby team was nominated, not the band, so now the afd is all out of whack . . . --he ah 19:07, 15 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. --Satori Son 21:28, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Question* - if "Furious george" and "Furious George" are both credited to the band, I'd like to create a valid page called "Vancouver Furious George" for the ultimate team? Thanks 66.38.134.26 15:56, 15 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I added Vancouver Furious George under Ultimate teams so it is distinct from the band. seumono

I based my page on these other ultimate pages. Seattle Sockeye and Eugene DarkStar. Eventually, Vancouver Furious George page will look similar to Eugene DarkStar. seumono 66.38.134.26 19:42, 20 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Vancouver Furious George. This is a fairly important and widely-known Ultimate team. Adamkik 08:09, 21 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

AFD relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

~~Delete~~, I think. WP:ORG applies here, and the VUL seems like a local amateur Ultimate league. Moreover, there are no reliable third-party sources to verify this article. ColourBurst 00:20, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Changed my vote. It seems that UPA is a major North American league, and they won the championship in multiple years. Works for me. ColourBurst 06:43, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per colourburst and makes no claim to notability at all. -- Chabuk 04:25, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Addressing these two votes: They are not part of the VUL, they are a touring (elite) team. Moreover, I've added WP:RS's to the article. Themindset 23:18, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep They were the 2002, 2003 and 2005 UPA champions in the open division. They are very well-known in the ultimate scene, are hands-down the best men's team in Canada, and are considered among the top ultimate teams in the world. Rawr 19:22, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Recuse I would have voted keep, but I was unfortunately directed here by a message board post. I am a regular AfDer though, and my opinion is that this team is quite well known, being UPA champ is equivalent to being a championship club team in any other sport. Themindset 22:57, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Note - I've added references for their championships. Themindset 23:10, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
keep per themindset. three time upa championships seems notable enough. --he ah 23:05, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep this is probably the most well-known team in Ultimate of the past few years. They are not a rec league team, these guys are as close to professional as you can get in Ultimate. --Liface 19:43, 28 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
