*[[Keep]] - If this must be deleted, you've got several hundred exactly like it for cities far less notable than this one. Notability is a property of a ''subject'' and not of a Wikipedia article. If the source material exists, even very poor writing and referencing within a Wikipedia article will not decrease the subject's notability. Further, once a topic has been the subject of "significant coverage" in accordance with the general notability guideline, it does not need to have ongoing coverage. Most importantly, editorial judgment goes into each decision about whether or not to create a separate page, but the decision should always be based upon specific considerations about how to make the topic understandable, and not merely upon personal likes or dislikes as appears to be the case here. Wikipedia is a digital encyclopedia, and so the amount of content and details should not be limited by concerns about space availability. Here, we have significant coverage and reliable sources. --[[User:YHoshua|YHoshua]] ([[User talk:YHoshua|talk]]) 13:38, 19 July 2018 (UTC)

no indication the title of this article is a subject of notability. I find no books written about the subject of "Sports in Evansville", I find no magazine articles devoted to the subject of "Sports in Evansville". Of course sports in Evansville is covered in newspapers in Evansville, but I see no evidence anywhere of even a local newspaper article covering an overview of sports in Evansville. This is a fan page, nothing more. It is not an encyclopedic topic. John from Idegon (talk) 05:58, 19 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
