Talk:San Diego Derby United

Deletion

The page was marked for speedy deletion. It's a small organization which exists in isolation. Cal state fictitious name ("DBA) and incorporation records show a transient existence. It derives its authority by citing a larger "league," the membership of which is comprised, in large part, of only itself. It's the majority body of the body that granted it legitimacy.

The references are not industry trade publications. In many cases they are magazines with no physical distribution, or ad supported print publications freely distributed in an attempt to increase ad circulation. One reference is from an LBGT magazine, which is not a respectable authority in this case. 70.181.173.233 (talk) 23:07, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

• I'm declining this because the first source is for the San Diego Union-Tribune, which is about the SDDD. As far as the online sources go, being an online sources does not automatically mean that it is not usable as a reliable source. In any case, this has a strong enough assertion of notability to where this would have to go through AfD if you want to pursue further deletion. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 09:42, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
• I am resubmitted this page as a candidate for deletion. The Union Tribune link was not published in the local paper, it was an online only story. It was actually published in the Arts & Entertainment section as a review for an independent movie, and the blogger seems to have quoted the San Diego Derby Dolls regarding the independent movie. The article does not assert that the San Diego Derby Dolls are noteworthy. It only asserts that an independent movie exists. The online sources do not automatically count as reliable either. They should be best considered neutral. Not to mention, many of them are broken. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sailing californium (talk • contribs) 22:00, 5 December 2015 (UTC)
• A simple "news" Google search turns up over 1,300 references to the San Diego Derby Dolls in the news. They are frequently cited in print trade media such as Five on Five, Blood and Thunder, and Lead Jammer. They and their skaters have historical significance in women's banked and flat track derby even if their current organization is down on members.

• San Diego Derby Dolls was a featured organization on CNN's television program,Somebody's Gotta Do It, hosted by Mike Rowe. The broadcast was nationwide, and not just on the internet. . 70.234.7.30 (talk) 00:10, 8 December 2015 (UTC)Heather

Sourcing

I've found some sourcing here and there. I found the journal article "Talk Derby to Me: Intellectual Property Norms Governing Roller Derby Pseudonyms" (Fagundes, David. Texas Law Review 90.5 (2012): 1093-1152) where they're extensive mentioned, but it's as an example. I'm not sure how usable that would be. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 16:26, 6 December 2015 (UTC)
