Team-DkS

A PROD in the article stated that "Having notable sponsors indicates that this team might be notable but there is no coverage in reliable sources I can find. Fails Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) and WP:GNG". I removed the PROD tag on the grounds that the article was previously nominated for deletion (and subsequently speedily deleted as a copyvio). However, I agree with the nominator's sentiments that the team does not appear to be a notable e-sports team, as my search also failed to find any significant coverage in reliable sources. While it was argued that having a notable sponsor is a claim of significance, notability is not inherited. Pinging original CSD tagger Yashovardhan Dhanania and PROD tagger SoWhy.

Delete' as non-notable sports team or franchise. Filled with external links violating WP:NOTLINKFARM. Possibly could even be speedily deleted under A7. Ajf773 (talk) 10:17, 15 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Ajf773: A7 was declined. Yashovardhan (talk) 10:21, 15 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I see, although an unsatisfying reason for declining. Ajf773 (talk) 10:25, 15 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom and my initial CSD tag. Thanks for the ping! Yashovardhan (talk) 10:21, 15 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Delete per WP:G4 - I remember the first article and there's been no improvement. Exemplo347 (talk) 13:22, 15 April 2017 (UTC)De[reply]
Delete. After searching in both normal google and the video game-related google search, I was unable to come across anything that could indicate notability. An admin would have to take a look to see if G4 would be applicable (SoWhy?). Anarchyte (work | talk) 14:50, 15 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- It is not since it has never been deleted in a normal AfD. The first AfD closed as speedy delete, i. e. without allowing discussion to happen. That's why I had PRODed it originally, considering that no formal previous discussion had occurred. I decided against A7 speedy deletion since the article previously included claims that they are sponsored by Logitech and Discord (software) and are thus at least more significant than most other teams who have no corporate sponsors.
