Procedural nomination. Previous AFD on this article was speedily closed because it was opened as an act of vandalism by a now indef-blocked user. However, X2bechaos (talk · contribs) prodded the article in good faith with the rationale "The following article is more that just a stub. Kolkata Knight Riders already has a Wikipedia page, and this new page is unnecessary. The teams of the IPL have a page for each season, though the 2018 season hasn't started which renders this page useless. On top of that, the formatting and grammar is off on this page."

I'm bringing it back here for a proper discussion. For my part, I am neutral. —KuyaBriBri^Talk 18:42, 19 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Kolkata Knight Riders for now - it's way too early for this. he league won't start until April so it's just too soon. It's also awful as it stands and needs to be started again by someone closer to the season beginning - the 2017 article was started at the end of February; that's more like it.

Redirect per the comments above. This can be recreated when the player auction takes place - before then there is no prospect of anything but speculation being added here. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 14:46, 23 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
