A case of WP:TOOSOON. The stable hasn't be around long enough to establish its notability. True CRaysball | #RaysUp 03:28, 17 December 2015 (UTC) reply

Taken care of. See Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2015 December 19#Template:The League of Nations. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 06:23, 19 December 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Delete Thank you for nominating. They fail WP:GNG as they have no enduring notability. It's possible they'll be notable someday but they're not there yet. LM2000 ( talk) 03:36, 18 December 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Keep Less notable groupings with no name of their own have their own article. Wether they endure cannot be said right now. However the template right now serves no purpose. Str1977 (talk) 19:00, 18 December 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Delete definitly too soon.  MPJ -US  20:39, 18 December 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Delete – Str1977's rationale is typically explained away in discussions of this type as WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. However, if you want to go there: comparing the level of detail and number of sources in an article about an entity which has existed for less than three weeks with the multitude of topics with long-established notability which WP:PW has chosen to ignore due to the lack of easy sources, it makes it obvious that this article also partially or completely fails WP:NOTNEWS, WP:POVFORK and WP:RECENT. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 23:48, 18 December 2015 (UTC) reply
OK, RadioKAOS, if you want to invoke WP:NOTNEWS for the article, then you are also arguing for the removal of Wikipedia articles for recent news events, as well arguing for not creating articles for news events until sometime after they've happened, as those would violate WP:NOTNEWS as well. I honestly don't see how the article violates WP:POVFORK. And, as far as WP:RECENT, there are many other articles besides this one that would violate WP:RECENT. Now, as far as WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, you are then arguing that a multitude of articles on Wikipedia need to be removed, as it can be argued they exist simply because articles for similar entities exist. I would say delete the template, but retain the article. If anything, RadioKAOS, it is clear that you are out of your league (pardon the pun) here. 76.235.248.47 ( talk) 23:36, 24 December 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Delete: Does nothing other than exist for short period. Kill it. Not notable.-- Will C 01:33, 19 December 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Keep - top "bad guy" group in WWE right now. Vjmlhds (talk) 18:18, 19 December 2015 (UTC) reply
"Right now" is my sticking point, a sentiment which appears to be shared with others in this discussion. What part of " Wikipedia is not a newspaper" requires further elaboration? RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 11:02, 20 December 2015 (UTC) reply
A League of Their Own? I love Geena Davis! Sorry, just had to. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 11:02, 20 December 2015 (UTC) reply
Plenty of official stables don't have articles but had theme songs, though this one has the distinction of being the only group to have a theme named after a Penny Marshall film. LM2000 ( talk) 21:07, 20 December 2015 (UTC) reply
Also, the. nominator never suggested that the stable was unofficial so I don't see how that is relevant.-- 174.91.187.180 ( talk) 00:35, 21 December 2015 (UTC) reply
Surely, given that the stable prominently features wrestlers from the British Isles, the title of the theme music is in honour of the UK TV quiz show hosted by James Corden.....? -- ChrisTheDude ( talk) 15:11, 24 December 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Strong delete. WP:TOOSOON, and Sheamus no longer being champion does nothing to help matters. Existence ≠ notability. DoubleYouSeaDoubleYou ( talk) 14:06, 20 December 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Delete not enough coverage for an article yet. Simply being official an shaving a theme song is not enough.-- 174.91.187.180 ( talk) 00:35, 21 December 2015 (UTC) reply
Also the existence of article for less notable stables does not prove that this should be kept since it could very well be possible that the should be deleted as well.-- 174.91.187.180 ( talk) 00:39, 21 December 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Keep the article. Delete the template. There's enough sources and info for an article. As for the template, delete. -- FaithLehaneTheVampireSlayer 12:02, 23 December 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Delete, obviously. Violates TOOSOON and GNG, with no convincing policy-based arguments for keep thus far. 90.222.115.9 ( talk) 13:34, 23 December 2015 (UTC) reply
