This appears to be a non-notable Australian Rules Football team in Canada (that very combination would suggest non-notability). There are very few google hits, and none that would remotely suggest this team meets the (very generous) notability standards for sporting teams.

• Comment I'm not entirely familiar with notability for sporting teams - is it the same as WP:ATHLETE? I can't find it, though I'm sure I've seen it somewhere.. anyway, despite my Wiki absent-mindedness, I was able to locate this, this and this via Google News. No idea if this helps or hinders a case for deletion; I'd have to review it in relation to the specific guidelines (if I can find them...*goes notability hunting*).

• Delete as while useful, the above news articles aren't helpful in showing notability. For the most part, they're just a report on various admin matters. SMC (talk) 11:36, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect, changed from delete, as while my argument above still stands, The-Pope's suggestion fits even better - it's a perfectly reasonable search term. SMC (talk) 12:04, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
