- Keep It was a professional minor league baseball team for 50 years. That's pretty notable. Not sure what issues you are talking about, besides image issues. Not sure what that has to do with the article at hand, it is more or less and underhanded dig and is entirely unnecessary.Alex (talk) 01:54, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Professional minor league baseball teams are pretty much inherently notable, but if you're looking for sources a quick Google search yielded two books about baseball teams in Richmond (including the Colts), which would certainly satisfy WP:GNG directly.

- Keep: Lasting 50-years in a significant sized city is notable, there are many useful news references.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]
