Deletion of Nelson Cubs

Comment: I'm sorry, but " A team at this level would have had news articles written about it" is not a valid reason to keep. A regional team is not inhertently notable and google web, news, and scholar as well as LexisNexis bring up nothing reliable. Perhaps someone could find something in microfiche, but as the article is written now, it does not show widespread reliable (or any at all) coverage by the media or anyone to prove extensive coverage as required by . The burden of proof falls on those who created the article to provide sources, not those who nominate and  does not go by the principle that someone out there must care, so there must be something to support it. The article may have a possibility of being notable for having won a regional championship, but at this time there is nothing to support the notability of the team and without sources to show that the win was actually important to people, there is no case for notability

Comment: Senior hockey during the time frame the team exists was the 2nd highest level of hockey in the world in many respects. The team would have been written about extensively in its time frame. Please tell me you have followed deletion process and made a good faith attempt to find references in sources that are contemporary to the team? And before you claim its up to the people saying keep to provide them that isn't actually so. Per  "If it is likely that significant coverage in independent sources can be found for a topic, deletion due to lack of notability is inappropriate unless active effort has been made to find these sources." A team at this level would have had news articles written about it in many papers at the time, so it passes that requirement. And per  "Before nominating an article for AFD, please...first do the necessary homework and look for sources yourself, and invite discussion on the talk page by using the {{tl|notability}} template, if you are disputing the notability of an article's subject. The fact that you haven't heard of something, or don't personally consider it worthy, are not criteria for deletion. You must look for, and demonstrate that you couldn't find, any independent sources of sufficient depth." In the case of a team this old a google search doesn't cut it, so please show us that you searched newspapers from this time period prior to bringing it to afd
