[edit] Omaha Extreme

Prod contested by author. Prod'd because article on league indicates team is a fill in team scheduled only to play one game next season. Author contested prod on basis that they played three games last season. Well, to me this is not much different than an article on Tom Cruise's stand in or a Broadway actor's understudy who maybe only performed for two or three days while the actor had to go to a funeral out of town or some such thing. It is a non notable team that is there when they are needed to be and apparently at no other time. Postcard Cathy 22:34, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

• Question is whatever league they play in notable enough for an article on its own? Perhaps a redirect to that page would be appropriate pending creation of a better article? FrozenPurpleCube 22:41, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Answer and Comment Yes, they played in the American Professional Football League. For Cathy, the team's status for next year is not known yet. My opinion, if the team disappears in the off-season (likely), I have no problem deleting the article. If they return (also likely), article should be kept/recreated.

When I AFD'd the article, the league's page said they were only playing one game. I am acting on good faith that that information is accurate. Cathy

• Comment - The definitely fail WP:ORG, but they can be sourced. See here. --Tλε Rαnδom Eδιτor (ταlκ) 22:42, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Comment: Doesn't failing WP:Org trump sourcing?

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

• Merge back into American Professional Football League Using the Broadway analogy, a production that closes after only one show is significant for that reason, and it is unusual for a team to play only a single game. Nevertheless, I see no reason to have a separate article about each APFL team. Mandsford 16:15, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
• Merge per Mandsford. --Aarktica 23:58, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
