the team plays only in 21st division Doc Hannibal 08:53, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep I have absolutely no idea where the "21st division" reference comes from. This team plays in the South West Peninsula League Division One East, which is at level 11 in the English football league system, and has in the past been as high as the Western Football League Premier Division (where they were champions on two occasions), which is at level 9, well within the notability guidelines established by WP:FOOTBALL ChrisTheDude 09:14, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
  • This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of football (soccer) related deletions. ChrisTheDude 09:15, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Club plays at Step 7 and are a well known non-league team due to their long-time membership of the Western League. Number 57 09:29, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment I've just noticed that nominating this article for deletion was Doc Hannibal's first ever edit on WP. I'm all for assuming good faith, but I can't help thinking there's some sort of agenda going on there...... ChrisTheDude 09:32, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - per the others. I think I will AGF in regards to Doc Hannibal, but it is a little suspicious... -- Anonymous DissidentTalk 09:53, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep - as per the others. I don't AGF as easy as I should, it's a fairly obvious agenda nomination.Elmo 11:33, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong keep per above, obviously notable club. Ten Pound Hammer • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps•Review?) 12:11, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Twice winners of the Western League, once FA Vase semi-finalists? Keep. They've hit a few financial problems and dropped a couple of leagues, but are now on the way back. - fchd 19:13, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong keep Totally pointless nomination. The "21st division"?? Perhaps the nominator also needs to have explained what is and what is not notable regarding football clubs, especially given what was said above by ChrisTheDude, that this was the nominators first edit on wikipedia, and they choose to nominate something for deletion? Very odd. ♦Tangerines♦·Talk 20:29, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong keep Meets notability requirements. Seems a very frivolous nomination. --Malcolmxl5 21:04, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
