New England Cavalry[edit]

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

Appears to fail WP:GNG with no local news coverage and only a few WP:ROUTINE game coverage from other teams, primarily the decent local coverage of the Richmond Roughriders (such as this mention) and a couple of "local former high schooler/Div. III college football players signs with..." WP:NOTNEWS articles (such articles lack the "significant coverage" portion of GNG ans the team really only gets a mention, such as this somewhat mis-informed article about a signing to the "AFL"). The article seems to have been created with "presumed notability" as they claim they are professional, however, there is no guideline for such a claim in WP:NORG (specifically WP:ORGSIG) and we must judge on GNG alone. As this is a travel-only team for the time being, it is either WP:TOOSOON for significant local coverage or possibly just not notable. Yosemiter (talk) 15:25, 2 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - WP:TOOSOON, and fails WP:GNG. Kirbanzo (talk) 17:38, 2 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Deletion would be inappropriate as an article on the parent org exists. See WP:PRESERVE. A redirect to American Arena League seems appropriate for now. If substantial coverage is received in the future and a stadium space acquired can be restored. FloridaArmy (talk) 23:04, 2 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, fails WP:NSPORT. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 17:54, 4 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete two Facebook links and their team website? Out of interest, I checked the news sources and found some passing mentions on news articles about other teams. I'm giving this one a fail of WP:GNG and possibly WP:ADV with the only sources provided as those from the team itself.--Paul McDonald (talk) 00:58, 6 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
