Redirect to NBL1 East as I am unable to find sufficient in-depth coverage of this semi-pro basketball team to meet WP:GNG. JTtheOG (talk) 02:16, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

- Comment. @JTtheOG: The Hornsby Spiders are regularly covered, in depth, in the Daily Telegraph (Hornsby Advocate). (The "Ku-ring-gai" often gets dropped.) Their competitions are also covered by other newspapers. There is also past coverage when their teams have competed at the national level which is indexed by ProQuest (without access to the full articles unfortunately).

- Thank you, that's helpful. The ref added is not terribly in-depth, but I'd be happy to withdraw once better sourcing can be located. JTtheOG (talk) 03:09, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- I also found this, though it seems to be routine coverage of a U12 competition. JTtheOG (talk) 03:11, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

- Redirect. A bit of local coverage for this local organisation is not good for WP:AUD. duffbeerforme (talk) 05:27, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
- AUD does not apply to sports teams. BeanieFan11 (talk) 21:12, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
