Indonesia Ice Hockey Association[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Fails WP:ORG. No evidence of notability, and the article is riddled with speculation and inaccuracies -- for instance, unrecognized by the IIHF or by the government, by what authority does this "federation" claim to govern ice hockey in Indonesia? No sources proffered. Article prodded, but deprodded by the creator with the edit summary "You can't proposed articles for deletion! >:()" Ravenswing 03:45, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Strong delete not even an official organisation and Indonesia does not compete internationally in ice hockey. this text from the article says it all "e association is not recognized in its own country. They have been waiting on the paperwork from the government. Bureaucracy is very complicated in a country, but the association press forward by sending there ice hockey players routinely to international competitions so they can get recognized by the government".

Delete - The lack of any official recognition by the government is bad enough, but the lack of any reliable sources out there is adequate to warrant deletion, albeit possibly not a speedy one. hmssolent^lambast _{patrol records} 12:32, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - There is no coverage for this organisation even from unreliable sources let alone reliable ones. The organisation is not an IIHF member. If they ever do attain the status of an official governing body, then we can revisit whether an article is justified. -- Whpq (talk) 16:53, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as Whpq said, we can always come back to it if they ever gain notability. ÞórrÓðinnTýr ^Eh? 17:38, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Melt - While normally organizations like these have automatic notability per WP:NSPORT, this one is not even recognized by the sports' main federation! Also, virtually no coverage. No prejudice against recreation if/when the organization receives recognition. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 10:11, 11 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - unrecognized federation of dubious legitimacy. No reliable sources. Reso lute 23:34, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
