East Coast Basketball League

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

No evidence this semi-professional basketball league meets WP:GNG in independent, reliable sources. Author removed prod with a source to a unreliable, non-independent press release. Might be a case of WP:TOOSOON as league haven't started playing yet. Delete' Secret ^account 23:31, 15 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Convert to Draft and allow work to continue by interested parties as coverage builds (essentially agreeing with WP:TOOSOON). Nick (talk) 02:09, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete under GNG, has no independent or even secondary sources. Clearly not a notable league. 99.233.124.91 (talk) 14:31, 7 December 2014 (UTC) — 99.233.124.91 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
Delete - Non-notable semi-pro basketball league whose league member teams have not yet played a single game. Fails the notability guidelines per WP:ORG and WP:GNG for lack of significant coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources. There are also obvious WP:CRYSTAL and WP:TOOSOON issues.
