Reverted edit on Toronto Semi-pro teams

I reverted the link you put for Canadian Crusaders as it's the same link as it's league (Major League Indoor Soccer)

So I don't see a need to have two links that direct to the same page 2607:FEA8:4A5C:7600:811:BB0E:40A9:9D8E (talk) 18:56, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

There may not be a separate article now, but that's not a good reason to remove redirects to targets with the potential to be converted into a full article. Having the link in place means that if and when an article is created it will automatically be linked to. Also, the link might encourage someone to click it and start writing the article.
See the guidelines on this at WP:NOTBROKEN: "editors should also not change redirects with possibilities".
Also more in the MOS at MOS:NOPIPE: "This has two advantages: first, if an article is written later about the more specific subject ... fewer links need to be changed to accommodate the new article; second, it indicates that the article is wanted."
The encyclopedia is constantly being expanded, so it's better to prepare for that. TDL (talk) 03:20, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
Just seems like needless waste to me. As having it blank would more show that there no article for that team as compared to having an article double tagged. Also who knows how long that team will last within that league to create a demand. There are so many teams that go unarticled in all their time 2607:FEA8:4A5C:7600:240C:6BE0:4FED:AAAA (talk) 17:24, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
Feel free to start a discussion to recommend a change in policy if you disagree with it. But unless the policy changes, we should follow it. TDL (talk) 22:52, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

No rule needs to change. Just gotta be realistic and notice that even with MLIS most of the teams do not have pages. So don't need to pretend that Toronto's team will get one. Just wait until either someone makes one or they prove they can last within the league. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:fea8:4a5c:7600:8c1f:c1dc:a40d:c8a9 (talk) 01:40, 14 December 2024 (UTC)
