Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2009 Louisville Bats season
Let me speak directly to the comments in favor of keeping. There are four such comments. One accuses the deletion side of making nothing more than an IDONTLIKEIT argument (which is clearly not true&mdash;specific arguments are laid out) and says nothing more. Another talks about how some people read these articles on another web site. Neither of these two arguments are remotely germane and they should be ignored. The other two comments, from Agent Vodello and Ravenswing, invoke the GNG. Neither explain how this article specifically passes the GNG. Ravenswing acknowledges there are not sufficient sources now, but claims "I don't doubt that sourcing exists." Similarly Agent Vodello "I think the Louisville Bats have plenty enough reliable sources throughout their season." Neither provide ''any'' such sources, and Agent Vodello admits that no one has ever been interested in creating this kind of article, and the person who did abandoned it. So the closest we have to a valid keep argument is "trust me, there are sources on this" without actually providing them. That doesn't cut it as a keep argument. Even were such sources to exist, none of those in favor of keeping are dealing with the issue of whether or not such sourcing would go beyond , a guideline which tells us that "routine news coverage of such things as announcements, sports, and tabloid journalism are not sufficient basis for an article." Has anyone even suggested there is anything beyond routine coverage? No. Thus we clearly do not have a basis for an article. The argument for deletion is rooted firmly in  and a lack of reference to minor league seasons in Wikipedia:Notability_(sports)#Individual_seasons. I don't see ''any'' valid argument articulated by those in favor of keeping&mdash;vague references to the GNG and complaints about deletionists are irrelevant, as are the number of people who have chimed in on the keep side without, I think, providing a real rationale
