Non-notable local football team, plus appeal for fans. ➨ ❝REDVERS❞ 20:14, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Doesn't look notable and reads more like an advert than an article. --StuffOfInterest 20:20, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep it: it is nice to hear of a good local side — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.92.67.78 (talk • contribs) 20:30, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, but leave a friendly message at the creator's (who is also the voter above me) user page; perhaps they don't know what Wikipedia is really for. Peyna 22:07, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Good point, Peyna. I always try to add a brief note to all authors whose articles I AfD, and many CSD ones too, giving instructions on how to undo the causes of an AfD and offering help and advice in future via my talk page. But the 'pedia is being unhelpful with this one - every visit to the talk page is getting me a Wikimedia Foundation error. Someone, somewhere doesn't want me to in this case (and it's frustrating!). Could somebody do this - maybe even as subst:welcome - for me? I'd be very grateful. ➨ ❝REDVERS❞ 22:28, 1 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Worked for me; I attributed the welcome to you.

- Delete. Reads more like a Geocities page than an encyclopedia article, and also for non-notability. Mo0[talk] 23:12, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- The article as it stands mainly comprises requests for people to come and support the team, and an unattributed non-neutral opinion that it needs a "decent captain". I tried to rewrite the article from sources, but came up empty handed when I looked for some sources. The only things that I found were a news report stating little more than that this is one in a list of football teams, and a directory entry on a web site where most of the fields were not filled in. If this were a company, it would fail the primary WP:CORP notability criterion by a huge margin. No-one independent of the team has written anything substantial at all about it. Indeed, if it weren't for the one minor and incidental mention in the news report, the team's actual existence wouldn't even be verifiable. Delete. Uncle G 17:23, 1 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
