article based on an assumption that a yet to be built arena (Allentown Arena) will host a specific team (Adirondack Phantoms). I don't believe there's been any acknowledgement, let alone statement, from the American Hockey League regarding any relocation yet. TerminalPreppie (talk) 19:18, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Pure speculation and crystal balling at this point. Once an official announcement is made no prejudice on recreating. -DJSasso (talk) 19:30, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment Also delete speculatory redirects Lehigh Valley Phantoms and Allentown Phantoms. TerminalPreppie (talk) 20:07, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - per nom and DJSasso. I could see a redirect to the arena if I squint really hard, but I don't think this is a particularly viable search term, so deletion seems appropriate. Rlendog (talk) 21:29, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as crystalish speculation until an official announcement has been made. HangingCurve^{Swing for the fence} 22:58, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: per above. Who's to say that the Flyers' organization doesn't change their minds? Glens Falls is, after all, an established, traditional AHL market. Ravenswing 04:15, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Even though there is probably a better than 50/50 chance this happens, it's too early. If an official announcement is ever made, then the article can be re-created. For now, it's speculation. Patken4 (talk) 23:10, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. Should this be userfied in case an announcement is made soon? Patken4 (talk) 23:14, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Why? There nothing substantial in the article, and a lot of it is pure speculation (color scheme etc). TerminalPreppie (talk) 13:11, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I can't imagine that an announcement could be made "soon" or even "in the foreseeable future" when ground hasn't even been broken a contractor hasn't even yet been chosen to build the arena. Beyond that, look ... would it take any of us as much as a half hour to create such an article? Userfying is useful when there are references and information that would be difficult to compile. This isn't such a case. Ravenswing 00:51, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • They started demolishing buildings in November of 2011. I live a block from the arena. Everything's been official for awhile. Not sure why this was ever deleted.]]
    • Beyond that any admin can hit the undelete button and get everything back anyways. -DJSasso (talk) 19:18, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
