Disputed prod. Non-notable, unencyclopedic and no context. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 12:08, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, obviously. A page of statistics for a high school football team would not be not a suitable encyclopaedia article even if there were sources, which there aren't. This is using Wikipedia as a free web host for the school's football team. JamesBWatson (talk) 14:22, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, no assertion of notability for the team, just a bunch of stats. 28bytes (talk) 15:56, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There are actually statisics for all sorts of information on wikipedia, and there are sources and multipule references courtesy of the Maine West Alumni Association which holds the records for the high school since its opening in 1959 along with the records of Maine North high school. Also notability will be added as the page was just created, there are thousands of pages that are not near completion and thay are not nominated for deletion. 207.246.169.110 (talk) 17:48, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Because here at Wikipedia, we have inclusion standards. Also, please review our guidelines on civility. Eagles 24/7 (C) 01:15, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails to meet notability standards. Fails to assert notability. Fails to explain anything about the subject such as what city, state, and country the program is in. Fails to provide independent acceptable reliable sources. Sources that are provided are simply a repeat of the page itself, so there is no reason for the page to even exist. Subject matter is a high school football team, so it is unlikely it will ever achieve the level of notability required for inclusion in this encyclopedia. Try another wiki.--Paul McDonald (talk) 04:09, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Fails to explain anything about the subject such as what city, state, and country the program is in." i haven't gotten to it yet, i just started the page. just give it some time, its not finished yet. ThatOneGuy 207-67 (talk) 14:03, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Userfy Please then move it to your userspace and work on it.--Paul McDonald (talk) 20:33, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Sources that are provided are simply a repeat of the page itself" thats not actually true as the alumni association made several mistakes with past records and they have also stop updating there website after the 2005 season. this page will continue where they left off and also provide other independent info when myself or others get to it.

Then it's original research and should be deleted by policy.--Paul McDonald (talk) 20:33, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
