Second nomination. Very little sourcing, fails WP:N and WP:GNG. Potential violation of WP:ADV and WP:NPOV. Paul McDonald (talk) 01:16, 17 December 2011 (UTC) (categories)[reply]

- Keep. You see this search article for them in their local paper? 2,405 mentions (I don't think they archive). Most minor league football teams on this level don't get significant local coverage, but the Raiders do. Tom Danson (talk) 17:04, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment it looks like most of those articles have the words "Racine" and "raiders" in the article but clearly are not about the "Racine Raiders." --Paul McDonald (talk) 18:36, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep: This organization does appear to get a fair amount of coverage, more than enough to meet WP:GNG,[1][2][3][4][5][6]- I could cite many many more if I kept looking. Let this one rest, Paul.--Milowent • hasspoken 04:36, 24 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
