[edit] Binghamton
Are the Brigadiers really a "defunct team" considering they never played? From the sound of the Press & Sun Bulletin article, the franchise still exists with the same GM in office at the arena, but with a new name (Brigade which sounds better anyway) and a new owner from Ithaca. It sounds as if there was a problem with the original owner. Apparently there will be a press conference on Thursday (Nov 17th) that will clear it up. Personally, I'd say delete the Binghamton Brigadiers article and forget about it.

[edit] Team map
Does the team map really qualify as fair use? It comes straight from the AIFL's web site, and seems to go beyond being a mere logo. Uvaduck 18:44, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
-It'll only be for the 2006 season, since the AIFL will add the Carolina Fuel in 2007. Once they get new teams, there'll be no need for that map anymore.
[edit] Weasel words
While technically not the same league as the AIFL, most fans speculate that the teams and the expected AIFL owners just started a new league with a slightly altered name to avoid previous legal problems.
NPOV and weasel words in one sentence: I deleted it outright. Looks like this article was written by an avid supporter who knows his wiki, though: good citations as far as I can see. Bizznot 16:52, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Ownership of articles
AIFA28, Wikipedia articles are not owned by any one user. You should not ask that article not be changed by per anyone! There are plenty of "administrators" who believe all articles involving "indoor football," and any other minor leagues, lack relevance and should deleted. It's the fans of your league, and others, that prevent those administrators from having their way. May I refer you what occurred last July involving the WIFL article as an example. I will continue to make edits the AIFA article and any other article I see fit when I feel I have information to contribute. Your comment "Please stop changing this--- Per the AIFA. Thank you." and pointing out that you are affiliated with the AIFA directly can lead some people to believe that this article is being used for commercial reasons. That will only empower those heavy handed administrators and give them what they feel is even more justification to put this and other articles created for minor sports up for deletion. Please review Wikipedia:Five pillars, Wikipedia:List of policies, Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not, and Wikipedia:Ownership of articles. If the AIFA wishes to have a free website that you and you alone can control, I recommend creating a MySpace page. StrayKat 00:37, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
