Canadian Arena League

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Current sources on this article are direct from the organization. A quick search only turns up one reliable result that's blocked by a paywall. Fails WP:CORP and WP:GNG. jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) (talk • contribs) 21:44, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No opinion yet, although this does smell a bit of WP:CRYSTAL. But just so it's clear, paywalled sites are entirely acceptable as references. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 00:22, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Kommentar I am seeing two OK sources about the announcement: this and this. There is also a bit of more WP:ROUTINE coverage in this. I would likely say it is WP:TOOSOON as they don't have a single team and have not generated much in the way of coverage from very reliable sources. But others may feel differently.

- Addendum: Delete under my toosoon argument. If this thing fizzles out, and that seems likely with their website currently showing "Account Suspended" as the mainpage, then it could never be more than the one three sentence paragraph in the lead, which makes the article fall under the problems in WP:PERMA and WP:WHYN.

Delete Fails WP:GNG and WP:CORPDEPTH with lack of significant coverage from multiple independent sources. I could not find more than the 2 sources already mentioned above by Yosemiter. Perhaps it is just WP:TOOSOON if the league finally takes off at some point.—Bagumba (talk) 13:34, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as per above. There's not enough information or coverage about the league yet to have an article, and it's WP:CRYSTAL to assume it will ever function as a football league. power~enwiki (π, ν) 20:59, 20 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
