"Metropolitan Football League Division Five" is a long way off the radar in terms of notability. O Fenian (talk) 20:43, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This league does not even appear on the English football pyramid and the club appears to have been founded only a year ago, with this their first season playing. Doesn't even fulfil the general notability guidelines, which is a shame as the article itself is put together quite well. Fenix down (talk) 10:45, 14 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - fails the WP:FOOTY project's notability rule of thumb (eligibility to compete in the FA Cup) by a long long way, and also fails the WP:GNG as no sources found at all. Amateur teams that play their home matches in public parks or on communal pitches would have to do something pretty astounding to be notable in the WP sense, and this one doesn't seem to have done so -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 11:08, 14 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I believe there is reasonable grounds to consider that the creator of the article, Simsy86, is in fact Nick Sims, one of the players cited as playing for the club and as such, the significant areas of the article that are unsourced may not represent a neutral POV.

- I think it goes without saying that any article on a team that competes at this sort of level can only possibly have been created by someone involved with the team...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:31, 14 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - fails both the guidelines for football clubs, as well as the WP:GNG. Cocytus [»talk«] 13:00, 14 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
