Talk:Huddersfield Hawks
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I think the article about the Huddersfield Hawks American Football team should be exempt from speedy deletion as it is a very important part of the University of Huddersfield's Athletics Union and for the town of Huddersfield itself. The team will also be joining the BCAFL for the 2007/2008 season. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by LukeAW (talk • contribs) 2006-10-10T13:10:35 (UTC)
- When I added the a7 tag the article was a single unfinished sentence. It's clearer now what it's describing, but I still think it needs to be merged into University of Huddersfield. At this point we don't even know for certain if they will be part of the BCAFL, and Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. I'll remove the db tag, but please seriously consider a merge. — Kaustuv Chaudhuri 14:36, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
Yes, sorry about the first unfinished sentence. I stopped and saved it to make sure it was working, my connection has been playing up recently. Anyway, I made sure not to say that the team are definitely joining the BCAFL in the article, I just said it here on the talk page for quickness.
I am open to merging it to the University's page. How would I go about this?
Hi there. I am the Chairman of the Huddersfield Hawks. I can safely confirm that we will be a part of the league next year, evidence of this can be found at [[[www.bsafa.org The BSAFA website]]]. We are listed as one of the teams to compete in 2007/2008 and common logic would say from the experience of the Head Coach/Chairman, the 45+ players we have and the good sponsorship we have I see no reason why not to.
Also can I add that I would recommend strongly NOT merging this page with the University of Huddersfield page. My reasoning is that first and foremost we are part of the Sports Union, independant of the university. However we represent the university in competitions. And while Wikipedia might not be a crystal ball, we are a competitive team and that should be enough to be listed. Saying we are aiming to be part of the league clearly gives our aims.
