United Hockey Europe

This is nothing more than an idea from 2009 that never materialized or even went to more concrete planning. If there would ever be a pan-European league, it would very unlikely be under this name. Wild8oar (talk) 13:25, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Although Notability is not temporary, from time to time re-assessment of the evidence of notability or suitability of existing articles may be requested by any user via a deletion discussion, or new evidence may arise for articles previously deemed unsuitable. Thus, articles may be proposed for deletion or recreated months or even years after being earlier considered. Among the Wikipedia guidelines to support the deletion, I would mostly foucs on Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not. E.g. WP:CRYSTAL, point 5: While Wikipedia includes up-to-date knowledge about newly revealed products, short articles that consist only of product announcement information are not appropriate. Until such time that more encyclopedic knowledge about the product can be verified, product announcements should be merged to a larger topic (such as an article about the creator(s), a series of products, or a previous product) if applicable. Speculation and rumor, even from reliable sources, are not appropriate encyclopedic content.Wild8oar (talk) 13:53, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am agnostic as to whether or not this article is kept, as long as the content survives. The question is where else to put it. KHL? History of ice hockey? Professional ice hockey? Any other suggestions? --Kevlar (talk • contribs) 15:38, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There is currently a section in Potential Kontinental Hockey League expansion, which is a one-sentence summary and a link to this article. We could move the relevant content to there. Wild8oar (talk) 16:49, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Update: I have now copied the relevant paragraphs of this article to the Potential Kontinental Hockey League expansion article, where it fits in nicely. This makes this article redundant while preserving the content. Wild8oar (talk) 17:07, 15 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wild80ar has already merged the article to Potential Kontinental Hockey League expansion, so the next step is to redirect the current page.--SGCM (talk) 06:45, 28 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, redirecting this article sounds like a good solution. Can I just do this? Or do we somehow officially have to withdraw the deletion discussion? Wild8oar (talk) 09:16, 29 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

wait til discussion is over. upon closing the discussion, the admin will do the redirection ʘ alaney2k ʘ (talk) 14:20, 29 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support redirect - not appropriate as stand-alone article ʘ alaney2k ʘ (talk) 14:20, 29 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support redirect – maybe it is not necessary to formally vote here. But just in case... The content is already added to Potential Kontinental Hockey League expansion, so this article has become redundant. Wild8oar (talk) 08:23, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
