Old Forge Blue Devils

It's a high school sports team. Such teams can be notable in particularly exceptional cases (e.g. 1954 Milan High School basketball team, the inspiration for the fictional story in Hoosiers), but I don't see how this one is substantially different from others. The article has no evidence of anything except local coverage, and if that were sufficient for notability, we'd have an article on every smalltown politician in the United States and tons besides.

~~Delete~~ Per nom. Quite a bit of coverage seems to fall under WP:ROUTINE and there's really nothing non-local besides some merchandise sites. ALH (talk) 12:30, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

On second thought, Merge into Old Forge School District#Sports. ALH (talk) 22:34, 31 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep per WP:BARE. This is a marginal case, but they were Pennsylvania State Champions in a couple of categories. Needs better sources. Bearian (talk) 23:37, 29 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
