Fails WP:GNG and lacks WP:SIGCOV, sources on the page are trivial. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 00:44, 11 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I reviewed the sources for a DYKN around when it was released. While a well-written and good faith article - about the best that can be written on the subject - all of the coverage is passing mention as statistics, with the sole exception of a single comment she made in an interview. There doesn't appear to be a Wikipedia article on the Northants Basketball Club at all (there's Northamptonshire Titans B.C., but that's a men's club), so whatever league this was, it was very obscure. Google check doesn't seem to show anything turning up in the past two years to change this. SnowFire (talk) 05:39, 11 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with Somalia women's national basketball team as alternative to deletion. The national women's team's debut at the Pan Arab Games has historic significance, and the target page would benefit from additional content from this one regarding the 2011 games and key players such as Manal Cali. For sure please cite the article from Die Zeit. Happy to help with merge if needed. If additional coverage is found, please ping me. Cielquiparle (talk) 11:10, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete Sources don't establish notability, and I'm not seeing the need for a merge either, as the content of a biography isn't relevant to the broader team. If sources are available for the team, they can just be added to the team's article directly, rather than be added to another article for that in turn to be merged.

I understand what you mean, but the reality is that once the article is deleted, we lose access to all the sources and work that was done previously, and time is wasted having to research the same territory all over again. Cielquiparle (talk) 06:59, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
