Creation of this article is premature

edit

I'm not saying this isn't happening, but reading the sources provided (and other news articles on the topic), this article has been made prematurely.

Two of the three sources used in this article mention this topic. Both of those sources (CBC & ESPN) do not provide any official confirmation that the franchise has been granted. It should also be noted that the anonymous reports provided by CBC and ESPN contradict the other's. The CBC's anonymous source states the franchise has been granted, while ESPN's anonymous source provides a somewhat contradictory assertion that the WNBA and Kilmer Group are in the "final stages of negotiations".

While this isn't a sports transaction, one would think the spirit of Wikipedia:WikiProject Sports/Handling sports transactions would apply to this as well (in that we only act on official announcements, so that we don't report contradictory anonymous reporting/rumours as was the case here).

With that said, I have blanked the content for now and redirected this page to Larry Tanenbaum#Sports, similar to what was done with Utah NHL team (being redirect to Ryan Smith (businessman)#National Hockey League franchise) when that article was made premature of its official announcement.

Minor update, but I've restored the page now that its official. Leventio (talk) 20:52, 23 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Tempo logo should be darker

edit

The logo for the Tempo that is currently up is the logo designated for use on a maroon background (as evidenced by the team's website).

If you look at the WNBA's website for its teams, they're using the logo with Maroon as the primary logo. SportsLogos.net also has an article about the Tempo's name, colors, and logos, and the global logo against white is supposed to be maroon, not the light blue.

Updated now with the darker logo...next time there's a situation like this, I recommend you do the same. Tom Danson (talk) 00:43, 6 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
