Section 303

several articles on topics exactly like this have been deleted, in fact, some of the AFDs have been started by me. If one article of this type should go, all should go. Postcard Cathy 07:12, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete unless reliable third-party sources with substantial content can be found to satisfy WP:V and WP:ORG. Jakew 12:26, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - No significant coverage in reliable sources, probably because this sort of thing just isn't notable in a worldwide encyclopedia. /Blaxthos 14:45, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per lack of coverage of this fan section from reliable sources. I also dont think anyone cares about it outside the local area Corpx 15:52, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per media coverage at the Tennessean, a little different media coverage at The Tennessean, at The City Paper,on WKRN, and on CNN. Also, deleters argument seems to be falling into WP:ALLORNOTHING. - Smashville 16:42, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or merge and redirect into Nashville Predators. The section has enough sources press coverage. I could see merging this into the team's main article; it might be the preferred action here. Realkyhick 17:49, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I started the first AfD until I realized that the group had been covered in depth in several newspapers and other reliable sources. These fans meet the notability guidelines. NeoChaosX (talk, walk) 18:06, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Has received extensive coverage in reliable sources and often are featured on XM's national hockey talk radio. As wel WP:ALLORNOTHING is not a valid deletion reason.--Djsasso 18:54, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete It's just a group of people. There is no notability of these fans. They are just fans, and every single team has them. There isn't anything different from these fans from Kings fans. Ksy92003(talk) 21:02, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I agree. And I want to reiterate that the arguments NeoChaos has made were similar or the same to arguments made in other articles like this that I have successfully Prod'd or submitted for AfD. Worldwide, there are many groups like this cheering on their favorite teams and many of those get press coverage. And of those, many are also mentioned on tv or radio by commentators who mention them for whatever reason. But they also mention the guy with the face paint or wig. And that guy doesn't belong on wiki either! Cathy

Can you explain why? I mean...can you give a reason within Wikipedia guidelines? This is a notable group with independent sources to verify notability. It seems like your complaint falls to WP:IDONTLIKEIT. Smashville 04:40, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and Redirect into Nashville Predators per Realkyhick. Seems like the main Preds article would be a better fit for this content. Especially since the size of the article is more like a stub anyway. -Pparazorback 04:41, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
