• Keep: Appears to be mentioned in eight Geelong Advertiser articles, a Ballarat Courier article and a Pick and Roll article. Seems to have notability. Gaz405 (talk) 05:00, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Articles that merely mention the subject does not demonstrate notability. It must have significant coverage by secondary sources. ɴᴋᴏɴ21 ❯❯❯ talk 05:12, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

See here a list of articles where they are the subject of the article (nine Geelong Advertiser articles with Geelong United in the title) plus another source from Wimmera Mail Times, just for some source variety. Some sources are definitely available, they just need to be applied and added, is what I think. Gaz405 (talk) 13:18, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: A decent amount of articles are available by the Geelong Advertiser (though it's also not a lot). Also note that the club was launched last year so only having a few articles isn't that suprising. For the significant coverage, this link shows articles specifically about the club such as the unveiling of their colours and their reaction to COVID-19 (specifically crowd-funding and training being on hold).

• Keep: This is correct, multiple articles in local newspaper Geelong Advertiser, from proposed merger to launch date, and the club now being in a holding pattern waiting for COVID to pass. VIVA Sportswearis where you can purchase items for the organisation. Game data base in now launching via Basketball Victoria's Pay HQ More than seven players are mentioned by Governing SSO for development camps referencing Association. This article in Geelong Advertiser^[1] identifies connection of Geelong Supercats and Geelong United Basketball. Times News Group makes mention of merger of two associations of Basketball geelong and Corio Bay to form Geelong United. Mck4gen (talk) 21:57, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
