The 3 J's[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Some blogs and some social sites are found in this search, but nothing of substance--and the one source provided with the article only mentions the term once in passing. The article is of course an account of the career of the three of them with some interspersed gossip. Note the final paragraph--this term is really an excuse for sports writing.

Delete - lacks independent references that have this article topic as the focus. In the absent of reliable sources focusing on this topic, there really shouldn't be an article. I could definitely see a mention in the articles about the players. I hope whoever created this article will continue good work here. LonelyBeacon (talk) 04:23, 18 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Agree with LonelyBeacon; deserves mention in the players' articles, but not sourced enough to merit it's own page. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 15:02, 18 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Don't Delete For those of you who don't me, I, Mr. Brain, am the creator of the article about The 3 J's. I am a registered member of Wikipedia, but I don't have a user page yet, and for that, I do apologize. But nevertheless, please give me more time to find more information. Some help from fellow members would be appreciated. Thank you. Mr. Brain (talk) 20:09, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Mr. Brain, I hope no one will hold the lack of a user page against you--no need to apologize. But here's the thing: your article's subject needs to be notable via WP:GNG (sorry for the alphabet soup; just follow the link), and for that it needs reliable sources (see WP:RS) that discuss the subject in some depth. I could not find those. And I'll tell you--I'm a huge Kidd fan, so I tried. Drmies (talk) 01:45, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
