Wigan Warriors Youth Development

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

An article on the youth development of a rugby league team. The article was created in 2007/8 and has had no worthwhile content added since this time. It essentially contains a list of players who were in the youth system and have long since moved on and a list of meaningless youth team results from 2007. The article can't be maintained and there is no point in doing so. The only ref is a link to the clubs website where this information belongs. Szzuk (talk) 21:09, 24 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. There is no need to add much more to the nomination statement, which puts forward incontrovertible reasons to delete the article. Perhaps this could be a notable topic in its own right or a legitimate fork from Wigan Warriors. And there should be no prejudice against recreating such an article if notability can be shown. But unless fixed in the course of this AfD, deletion is appropriate. --Mkativerata (talk) 08:16, 29 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I was unable to find the type and quality of sources that would be required to support this article under our general notability guideline. I did find a 2-sentence blurb from the Liverpool Echo via Highbeam, which provides the following coverage: FURTHER evidence that the Wigan Warriors Youth Development/Scholarship Scheme is continuing to bear fruit emerged this week when six players were selected for the English Schools Under-15s. Young Warriors Thomas Brindle, Jay Duffy, Darryl Kay, Daniel Pyke, Steven Roper and Joel Tomkins will tour France from March 24-26. [1]. --j⚛e decker ^talk 01:17, 17 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
