With 1,087 members in 2023, the PSSBL is one of the largest adult sports organizations - not just baseball - serving a metropolitan area in the USA. That is indeed notable. The league has been the subject of numerous TV and radio reports and many articles in print/web media. While we have a number of video and audio recordings on file, we have not been able to upload them due to various restrictions including copyright concerns. They include KIRO-TV, KOMO Radio, KIRO Radio, KJR Radio, Tacoma Weekly just to name a few. Te519 (talk) 07:08, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: When you say "we", are you saying that you have a connection to the subject? Let'srun (talk) 13:51, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"We" as in several members of the 16-person Board of Directors. My connection is that I was elected by our 1,000+ membership to serve on the board of our non-profit organization. Te519 (talk) 23:10, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete - I do not believe it passes WP:GNG or WP:NSPORT. Seems like a niche league in the Seattle area. Grahaml35 (talk) 13:43, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete doesn't look to pass WP:GNG or WP:ORG. Joseph2302 (talk) 13:53, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This AfD has been open for a week and nobody has come forward with anything approaching WP:SIGCOV in a reliable, independent source. With due respect to Te519 and their organization, that is what we need to support a stand-alone article on Wikipedia. Cbl62 (talk) 15:51, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, fails GNG. Wizardman 13:09, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as a local organization with out any independent notability. There are hundreds of groups like this in every state. I get that the organization has worked on building the page, but that is a conflict of interest. Spanneraol (talk) 21:52, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
