Deprodded with claim of notability due to hits on Google News, but all I saw was scores listed in local papers. Tagged for notability 2 years, outdated for 2 years. No non-trivial sources found anywhere. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 03:50, 5 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I had a look for sources with
Newsbank. There are hundreds of articles in Leader Community Newspapers
, and although most are match reports, some are multi-page articles that are devoted to covering the league in a non-trivial fashion, e.g.:
- Mobilia, Ryan (21 April 2010). "New season and name - Melbourne Winter Baseball League on the park for another campaign". Diamond Valley Leader. p. 51.

Also gets a few mentions in major newspapers like The Age. At least worth a redirect to Baseball Victoria. Jenks24 (talk) 11:30, 5 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

For anyone else looking for sources, it was known as the "Victorian Winter Baseball League" until 2010. Jenks24 (talk) 01:37, 9 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think in this case we should act formally. The article has only one source, which is self-published. Thus, this source is insufficient to establish the notability. Unless other sources have been added, either delete, or indeed merge and redirect to Baseball Victoria.--Ymblanter (talk) 07:22, 30 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
