Tampa Bay Titans[edit]

The only sources are primary sources, and for a new "second-division" league it's WP:CRYSTAL to assume they will actually play in 2019. power~enwiki (π, ν) 03:24, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating the following related pages because they are about teams proposed to start play in this league in 2019; the Bellevue article has some independent references but they are extremely local and appear to be straight-up PR:

Comment Based on this previous AfD, named teams were presumed to be notable and others were redirected to the league page. I have no problem if these team pages are deleted as I agree they do not currently meet WP:GNG and have no apparent notability. The creator does have a history of creating several very low level teams and bio pages for people involved with those teams. But in fairness, a redirect would save that user's contributions if indeed these teams come to fruition. On the other hand, if it is deleted, there is not really much here to be recreated if reliable sources actually start showing up. The Bellevue team coverage, while sort-of independent in coverage, is simply a local announcement coverage bordering on WP:GEOSCOPE and WP:NOTNEWS, from only one non-primary source, and is too early for WP:SUSTAINED coverage.
