Talk:Lilley Cricket Club

Notability
I'm struggling! Emotionally it is notable. Intellectually I can find no useful sources online to verify this. In view of ts age there are surely some non online references...? I removed a speedy deletion tag based on emotion which may have been an error. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 17:22, 12 March 2010 (UTC)


 * I am no historian of cricket, but I am not convinced that a late C19th foundation date for a club is particularly notable. It was during this period that many sports in the UK were being organised with uniform rules, leagues, county organisations etc. Secondly, as the article makes clear, the current club is a different organisation from that original one, so this lack of continuous existence further decreases any such notability. I would be inclined to move the body of the text into the article about the village and redirect to there from this article. WhaleyTim (talk) 10:57, 15 March 2010 (UTC)


 * In addition there is much in the article that probably does not belong in an encyclopedia. Remove this and what remains is only a short paragraph. WhaleyTim (talk) 11:03, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
