This article is written in
Canadian English, which has its own spelling conventions (colour, centre, travelled, realize, analyze) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other
varieties of English. According to the
relevant style guide, this should not be changed without
broad consensus.
Although I didn't do it. Very simple. Lacks notability. Not even CHL teams are notable enough for their own season pages, let alone a tier II team. The only teams that get that treatment are NHL teams. Same with the 2007-08 BCHL Season page and the 2008 Fred Page Cup Playoffs page... they will probably eventually get deleted due to lack of notability.
DMighton is right, this level of team is not high enough to get that level or treatment. The league itself could probably have a page, but not the individual teams. The NHL is the only level in North America that get that sort of treatment. -

Amazing
This article is simply amazing. The individual(s) involved at maintaining and expanding this article deserve a big pat on the back. Great work! —

To a degree, yes. All of those links (that are pertanent) on that article should link to informative articles that are related to the main article (the Cents article)... to have a poor BCHL article... or have the other team pages not fall in line to some degree might create a question as to its notability as a featured article. Sadly, I would say a lot of the articles in Tier II are under-developed.... so yes, it may effect it. Basically... all the BCHL teams articles should have a similar team template to the Centennials article... and some history... all of them have stats already... but I doubt they are very accurate... I have little knowledge of the BCHL and played it by guess... Like... I guessed team moves... I know a few are probably dead wrong... it needs some work.
Sadly, BC hockey has had very poor coverage on wikipedia... I've only ran into a couple people who have interest in it... it needs help from people who know something about it and have a desire for it.

Thank you for following up on my request to explain the COI. To be honest, it seems to be a very straight forward and well written sports article. The guy seems to be a fan and I doubt he works for or owns the organization. Probably a good idea to change his user name... but... I think it would have been easier to just ask him instead of the block. Muh... either way. I am going to put in a request at
Wikipedia:WikiProject Ice Hockey for someone to review the article for POV related content.

That was why I softblocked him so he can change his username and keep his edit history. As it was, the fact his username matched that of the team created the appearance of a promotional account.

Oh, for sure. I am actually kinda hoping he puts the effort he did in that article to the rest of the correlating articles... because he's built that one up nice.

Based on the images alone, especially the team photo, I suspect this user is a representative of the Centennials organization. If he is not, then I have serious concerns about this editors ownership of the copyright, and ability to release the images into the public domain. That said, I read the first couple paragraphs closely, and skimmed the rest, and overall, I believe the article seems fair. Even if the user has a COI, they have done well to maintain a balanced approach. My real concern right now is that the tone of the article is not really encyclopedic at present. Phrases like "The 1975-76 season will also go down in Cents history", "took a bit of a tumble", " stayed out of the basement", etc. Good for a team history section of a website, but not quite encyclopedic. Overlinking is also a problem, and many of the BCHL record book references should be combined. Some things to consider for the editor should they return and aim for FA status. There is a good base to start from.
