Southeast Team Handball Conference (talk|edit|history|logs|links|watch) (XfD|restore)

Two years ago my article about the Southeast Team Handball Conference (SETHC) was deleted. The reason of the Afd was "No secondary coverage from independent sources." In the meantime I found some articles from independent newspapers:

Furthermore I learned that the SETHC was part of the NCAA Emerging Sports for Women program and they were supported by the NCAA. Are this articles enough to recreate the SETHC page?

@James Allison, Atlantic306, Ammarpad, and K.e.coffman: were the other AfD contributors. Malo95 (talk) 10:30, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment None of those on their own are very significant coverage. I have no problem if someone wants to restore the draft of the article for you to work on, but I probably wouldn't accept an article that featured only these sources. SportingFlyer T·C 11:54, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Endorse, but allow recreation/restoration. Endorse because the old AfC was obviously closed correctly. But, two years have passed and some reasonable sources have been located. I agree with User:SportingFlyer that these sources are marginal, and may not hold up in a second AfD, but they're certainly enough to get past WP:G4, which is really all we require for a rewrite. -- RoySmith (talk) 14:55, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Restore to draft the AfD close was correct but as new sources have been found it seems fair to put it in draftspace for improvement or start fresh, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 18:13, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Endorse but Allow Review of Draft since this appears to be a request to resubmit rather than an appeal. Robert McClenon (talk) 18:14, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Endorse. At two years old, at 6 months even, you are allowed to recreate the article using new sources that overcome the AfD reasons for deletion. If you're not sure, use draftspace/WP:AFC. You can start again from scratch, or use WP:REFUND to work from the deleted version. Do not come to DRV unless the REFUND request is refused. DRV will not protect the new mainspace version from being immediately AfD-ed. DRV will not help you pass AfC submission. DRV is for examining the old process and decision to delete, and there were no problem. The proffered sources here are thin with respect to direct coverage of the topic. You will waste less time, yours and others, if you follow the advice at WP:THREE. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 00:17, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment The original AfD was correct. I started this deletion review because of reason three "if significant new information has come to light since a deletion that would justify recreating the deleted page;" but it seems this was the wrong place. Sorry. Would an administrator please recreate the article as draft and I would use a WP:AFC. --Malo95 (talk) 09:56, 27 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
