The result was keep. Courcelles 08:37, 13 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Canada national bandy team (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log) • Afd statistics
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Same rationale as at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mongolia national bandy team. Apologies for not including it in that AfD. The fault is entirely my own. Shirt58 (talk) 10:59, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep The very first Ghit is for the national team's official web site, which links to a story from The New York Times. I don't have much doubt about the notability of this one. Redfarmer (talk) 12:10, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep It clearly exist, The New York Times article confirming this. Dream Focus 07:36, 31 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Note: The article under discussion here has been flagged for {{rescue}} by the Article Rescue Squadron. SnottyWong converse 17:20, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete or merge to List of national bandy teams or something similar. National teams may have inherent notability, however the content of the article still needs to satisfy WP:V. If there is no (or very little) verifiable information about this team, then devoting an entire article to it is pointless, as it will just be a permastub. The NYT article linked above by Redfarmer is primarily about the sport itself, the Canadian team is only mentioned in passing. SnottyWong converse 17:20, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Strongly disagree on this one. The official site itself keeps an entire section of press clippings on their team over the years here. They may not have been linked yet but they are very valid. Redfarmer (talk) 19:47, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:06, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep The article may need some work, but the team definetly exists, has a clear history and is notable. The article is in fact in better shape and more referenced that those of Finland or Norway where Bandy is a much larger sport. Ravendrop (talk) 02:52, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I have updated the page, including the Canadian result at the most recent world Championship, and a Winnipeg Free Press article about the Canadian team at that championship. Ravendrop (talk) 03:29, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
