Promotional article on sports cheerleading squad. As written, article does not claim general notability, and sports notability does not apply to cheerleading squads. The article needs to be blown up and started over both to establish notability, if the unit is notable, and to remove the advertising. Has been created both in draft space and in article space, possibly in order to game the system to block movement of the article to draft space. This nomination is both for tone, for a marginal G11, and for notability. The references include Instagram and Facebook. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:16, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete with storm and fire: If anything, the nom's too kind. "They were the very first "spirit squad" for professional hockey in North America and is now one of the more iconic NHL cheer squads of all time." Seriously? Hell, cheering squads for NHL teams existed in the 1960s, however ephemerally. I wouldn't even countenance a redirect-without-merger. Ravenswing 07:47, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as an advert, ideally Speedy. Consider extending this to the Draft version also. Fiddle Faddle 09:48, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Having any kind of relation with the Carolina Hurricanes alone is not a measure of notability. LSGH (talk) (contributions) 10:51, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. When I saw the name, I thought that it was an emergency rescue squad in case a hurricane blew in. But I looked and saw that it was only sport cheerleaders. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 13:49, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
