The result of the debate was delete. Normally I wouldn't quick-close something I voted in like this, but it's an obvious case and the Afd was disrupted with the notice removed from the article. It's not worth fighting vandalism over this stuff, so I've deleted and closed the Afd. Friday(talk) 02:44, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
PS. I don't want to be the heavy here. If any admin disagrees with this deletion or closure, I invite them to undelete and reopen the Afd to let it run the full course. Friday(talk) 02:53, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The author of the article rejected speedy, so I'm going to go the slow route. IMO, one single baseball leage for middle schoolers run by a single YMCA in Connecticut is entirely unnotable. The author (who has vandalized in the past and had other NN stuff removed) seems mostly to want a free website provider for the people in his league. --Bachrach44 18:39, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
First of all, it is not one single league. This happens to be one of the most prestigious leagues in southern connecticut, and it involves thousands of people, so it is a lot more than one single league for middle schoolers. It is one of the towns and counties most prestigious and active leagues. It is notable and should not be marked for deletion. Bobby5689 18:44, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for lack of verifiability and significance. Friday(talk) 18:51, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as per nomination. Also, 3rd Boys and 9th Grade Boys redirect to YMBA -- from the article, it appears that each separate league of the Darien, Connecticut YMBA is targeted for article creation. ArglebargleIV 19:37, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
rewrite the article to refer to this notable league, rather than generating a set of unencyclopædic lists of the minutæ of the way one particular branch (or club, or whatever) is organised.
Also, according to the article's talk page the author says It is a brief overview, and details will soon follow, about teams, and other important reminders and or supplemental information.. WP:NOT a free webspace provider. Free Wiki software is available if the author wishes to set up a Wiki to disseminate that sort of information. Tonywalton | Talk 20:28, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete along with all redirects to this page. The thousands of leagues run by YMCA chapters are not inherently notable. --Kinut/c 21:17, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete POV article with no citations, references, sources or external links. Subjective POV example; "Doug, Bobby, and Peter are some of the most decorated scorekeepers in the business."WP:NPOV refers. Also WP is not a free webhost. (aeropagitica) 21:36, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I'd be happy to de-POV it if the author could supply something regarding a centrallly-organised league, if it were notable. Tonywalton | Talk
Delete a highly deletable insignificance -- DV8 2XL 02:30, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
