AJHL

Delete

Seems non-notable. - Ta bu shi da yu 14:03, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Hands off the sticklers! Delete anyway. --fvw * 16:15, 2005 Jan 2 (UTC)

Delete. not notable Cleduc 07:37, 3 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Delete. This article has no notibility. At all. --WikiFan04 02:24, 20 Jan 2005 (CST)

Keep

~~About as notable as the Lower Darling Cabertossing Historical Sticklers Society, I think. Delete for lack of content. Oh wait, it's a substub. Delete anyway. Alphax (talk) 14:54, Jan 2, 2005 (UTC)~~
- Rewrite since I saw it first looks good, keep and expand. Alphax (talk) 14:02, Jan 3, 2005 (UTC)
Keep, Junior A leagues are notable enough. JYolkowski 17:09, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Keep. Junior hockey leagues are quite important in the hockey universe (and hockey fans need SOMETHING this year.) --jpgordon ∇∆∇∆ 17:37, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Extreme keep, notable and worthy of inclusion. —RaD Man (talk) 19:23, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Keep. 4840 Google hits for "Alberta Junior Hockey League" as a string, and it seems to lead the first page of "AJHL" hits. First page for the long form includes NHL.com draft rankings, articles in general newspapers not only in Alberta but Burnaby, British Columbia, Grand Forks, North Dakota and Madison, Wisconsin. 16 teams each in a major Alberta town or city, playing in arenas with total spectator capacity from 900 to 3500; average over 2100.

Keep "Noted alumni such as Mark Messier, etc..." deems it notable right thereEarl Andrew 10:38, 3 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Keep, but consider moving to the new Canadian Junior A Hockey League (CJAHL) page and merging the Alberta content with it for the time being. None of the other CJAHL teams seems to have a page. However, the Junior A leagues are important -- alumni include both NHL greats and current NCAA high scorers and the NHL sometimes calls up players from the CJAHL. --Westendgirl 06:56, 4 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Can we merge this AJHL information with CJAHL, or at least repeat it there? It would mirror the level of detail in the BCJHL section of that article. What's the consensus? --Westendgirl 07:30, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  - I support repeating it there (and moving with redirect, as below). Alberta Junior Hockey League is still more than expandible on its own, as well. (Applause for all your work on this, btw, Westendgirl) Samaritan 23:10, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)
If kept, then we should change the redirect relationship - AJHL should redirect to Alberta Junior Hockey League. We really should avoid acronyms as title names unless the acronym is more widely known than the thing it stands for. kelvSYC 04:35, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I'll second that motion. --Westendgirl 06:27, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Keep. I came across this vote for deletion because I was looking for the article on the league. -- JamesTeterenko 03:31, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Actions

I reversed the redirect, so that AJHL now redirects to Alberta Junior Hockey League. I also pasted the AJHL content into the CJAHL article. I'm not sure the AJHL needs its own page, since the content is scant. Perhaps someone can expand the article? --Westendgirl 07:14, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)

And I added a redirect to here from Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Alberta Junior Hockey League, since the actual content in question is now at Alberta Junior Hockey League, and that is where the VFD notice is. -Rholton 19:57, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)
