Fair use rationale for File:Manchester Titans Roster.jpg

Hi, I descided to not delete the image for this reason since it seems likely you created it yourself, however since images of text is depreciated on Wikipedia I went ahead and replaced the image with a inline "wikitext" table instead (see edit here). It may not look quite as good but it now be easily edited by anyone and it's apperance can be further refined later on. So since the image is no longer used I have listed it for deletion for that reason instead. If you feel the image should be kept around anyway you can post a comment here: Wikipedia:Files for deletion/2009 July 18#File:Manchester Titans Roster.jpg. Thanks. --Sherool (talk) 13:46, 18 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Manchester Titans

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

Apparently non-notable American Football team in the UK. The only significant thing a google news and web search turns up a single Manchester Evening News article. The article is actually about Ricky Whittle who is probably more notable for being in Strictly Come Dancing and Hollyoaks, and the mention of the team is in the trivia section (he plays for the team). Living in the city of Manchester I can honestly say I have never heard of the team. Perhaps the teams own Photobucket (linked on page) site says all that needs to be said about its notability. The crowds are virtually non-existent. A secondary problem is that the article is completely unreferenced. Given the lack of sources, I dont see how this can be remedied.

EDIT: Also found a BBC News article from 2007 that gives a one sentence mention in an article about another team. Pit-yacker (talk) 12:47, 27 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

EDIT 2: The history section is a cut and paste of the teams own website. I'll also note the existence of the book "American Football Teams in England" with the following summary from Google books Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online Pit-yacker (talk) 12:55, 27 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Refs aren't anything, some minor bits in the news. Their website shows they have no sponsors and nobody posts to the club forum. Szzuk (talk) 19:50, 28 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Add. In game photos show no fans... Szzuk (talk) 19:52, 28 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete otherwise Merge to BAFA National Leagues, the club's parent league. Insufficient significant coverage in WP:INDEPENDENT sources. Current article is sourced from the team's own website plus its league's website. In addition to sources listed in the nomination, additional Manchester Evening News sources at Manchester Titans 20 - 12 Clyde Valley Blackhawks and Titans now in the final four. Also one source at South Manchester Reporter. However, WP:GNG says "Multiple publications from the same author or organization are usually regarded as a single source for the purposes of establishing notability.", so we cannot overweight the Manchester Evening News coverage. Therefore, GNG's expectation of multiple sources is not met.—Bagumba (talk) 22:16, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as a blatant copyright violation. The bulk of this article has been copied word-for-word from the team's own web site, and removing that would leave precious little to establish notability. Malleus Fatuorum 22:42, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
