2009-10 UNLV Rebels Basketball team[edit]

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

No sources, and is made out of only two infoboxes, not to mention, the team does not even exist. Leave Message, Yellow Evan home

Extremely redundant deletion request, and no offense, an incredibly stupid statement saying the team does not exist when they won a title in 1990, is currently ranked in the AP AND ESPN Top 25 and just beat one of the best teams in the nation. Already put in some sources on the article. Str8cash (talk) 00:13, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The team is not called the Rebels, there called the Running Rebles. When this closes move the page 2009-10 UNLV Running Rebels Basketball season to match with other pages. Leave Message, Yellow Evan home

I'm sorry i'm not sure i've ever heard them being called the "Running Rebles"? There is such a team called the Rebels and if you don't believe me, here's a link; UNLV Rebels. I don't think the word "Running" is exactly verifying the team does not exist. Str8cash (talk) 01:39, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Excuse me but its called the UNLV Runnin' Rebels. Leave Message, Yellow Evan home

Rename – to conform to other UNLV basketball pages it should be renamed 2009–10 UNLV Runnin' Rebels basketball team. See, e.g., 1990–91 UNLV Runnin' Rebels basketball team, 1989–90 UNLV Runnin' Rebels basketball team, or 1986–87 UNLV Runnin' Rebels basketball team. There are now some citations, and as the season progresses, I imagine that will expand. Meets notability requirements. I think the nomination for deletion was premature as it was nominated a mere 30 minutes after page creation. —Ute in DC (talk) 06:47, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Seems like a reasonable start. UNLV has a pretty well-known basketball program, and plenty of sources are available. The UNLV website uses both Runnin' Rebels and Rebels to refer to its sports teams. I personally don't care which one we use, as long as we're consistent.

Keep and Rename per Ute in DC. It's definitely too soon to nominate a page within 30 minutes after creation, that's hardly fair for a subject generally considered to be notable. matt91486 (talk) 06:27, 3 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - And consider move if "Runnin' Rebels" is the more appropriate title. Rlendog (talk) 02:00, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ok,ill move team to season and Rebels to Runnin' Rebels to match with other sports articles. Leave Message, Yellow Evan home

Keep Notable program, as evidenced by source material and a simple google search. —Preceding unsigned comment added by UgaBullDawgFan08 (talk • contribs) 15:02, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
