The result was delete. WP:MADEUP, in fact a WP:HOAX (the teams exist in a non-notable fantasy league, but the team histories are wholly ficticious - but presented as fact). The Bushranger One ping only 16:54, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

It is a fantasy baseball league, and I can find no sources besides a wiki created by the same user who created the article. David1217 02:07, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

I am also nominating the following related page because it is a team in this fantasy baseball league that is also not notable:

I added references for both pages. Please let me know if that will suffice. Thanks. Joe —Preceding undated comment added 03:14, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

:Unfortunately, it will not. Wikipedia:Notability requires that there be "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Your sources are just the home pages for the teams, and so are not independent of the subject. David1217 01:37, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

  • Comment From the sources in the article, and from what I found online, it looks like this league and the teams in it are entirely fictional constructs. Have I read this correctly, or do any of these teams actually exist in real life? — Mr. Stradivarius (have a chat) 04:01, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
  • This is a completely fictional fantasy baseball league. The "owners" have made up "histories" for their "teams". David1217 01:32, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
  • This is sad. But the page should be deleted mercilessly. All the sentences in the article are made up, much as the "league" itself. All the links are to the hosting site, ESPN, but all that you find there are tables and suchlike. That does not make it notable. Nor does it give any basis for all the description that the page is based on. This material belongs on a blog. When the subject has attracted some degree of attention, even by its host ESPN perhaps, I'd change my tune. The Sound and the Fury (talk) 04:37, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
  • Delete Not notable. Shadowjams (talk) 01:25, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
  • Delete. I couldn't find any independent reliable sources covering this fantasy league, and seeing as it is an entirely fictional construct we are not likely to see sources in places other than ESPN. — Mr. Stradivarius (have a chat) 08:53, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
