[edit] Hoyland Common Falcons

Hoyland Common Falcons (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Article about a junior (youth) football club. If I recall correctly, English football clubs are notable if they have competed in the top ten professional levels of the English football system, so this organization fails WP:ORG in that respect. NeoChaosX (talk, walk) 01:43, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

  • This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of football (soccer) related deletions. Daemonic Kangaroo 06:01, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per nomination Daemonic Kangaroo 06:01, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete judging from their website they field teams only up to U16 level, like hundreds of other youth clubs up and down the country. Such organisations do not meet WP notability requirements ChrisTheDude 06:58, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
    • Actually I didn't scroll down far enough, they also have U18s and a "seniors" side, but as pointed out above, they don't play in (or anywhere near) a league whose clubs are eligible to enter the FA Cup, and therefore the club fails the WP:CORP test ChrisTheDude 07:02, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as they fail WP:CORP by a long way. Not even listed at the FCHD, which is a good authoritative source in this case. Qwghlm 07:26, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - amateur club BanRay 07:57, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - way too far down the football hierarchy to qualify for WP. BTLizard 10:05, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:ORG and nom. Scienter 12:54, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete by a large margin, as per virtuallty everyone above. They claim to have a Senior team in the "Doncaster League" but if so, I can't find it. - fchd 19:48, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete little more than a list with no references: WP:NOT#DIR. Disagree with the prescriptive guideline that top ten are notable, however. But this fails on a case-by-case basis. Dhaluza 22:26, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
