I found nothing that shows notability. The only two results in Google News were taken down for some reason. SL93 (talk) 22:26, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The article itself is unsourced. Own search shows there was activity in around 2006, but there is no evidence that the club exists anymore or has ever actively played in an official league. There is a posting in a forum from 2005, that shows that one team from Heidelberger TV has used the name Sharks. [1] --Ben Ben (talk) 11:10, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete It was classed as mid-importance by someone that has not edited for 2 years, so we can't ask why. Anyway, no notability shown nor easily found. Agathoclea (talk) 13:24, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I was the person who created this page years ago. At the time the club (and the sport) were on the move in Germany so it was fair to start the ball rolling. I think the club is still going. I don't mind the article being deleted or the info moved to the "Rugby League in Germany" page. Same with the Rohrback Hornets page too. Also you have put this discussion in the WikiProject Deletion Rugby Union category when this has nothing to do with Rugby Union as it is all Rugby League, a different sport.

That was done by someone else. SL93 (talk) 13:45, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Poiuytre, I have removed the Rugby Union deletion sorting. There is no delsort page for Rugby League, but on the project page is an Alert bot running. --Ben Ben (talk) 14:27, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I'd hoped to be able to save this one, but the trail is indeed cold. I found a 2011 mention of Heidelberg and Hochspeyer Sharks; and I was able to view one of the two original refs at the Wayback machine; and it says this team morphed into the Rohrbach Hornets. I would have suggested merging the two articles had I been able to find anything else, but that was it. So I'll be supporting deletion of that one too.

Delete. A few mentions but no real coverage. --Boson (talk) 15:37, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
