Hi Acoly

Thanks for your message on my talk page. To answer your query, the guidelines on notability for clubs (which is what you would need to fulfill in order for the club's article to stay on WP can be found here and states that:

A club, society, or organization is notable if it meets any'' of the following criteria:


 * 1) The club, society, or organization has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the club, society, or organization itself.
 * 2) * This criterion includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, books, television documentaries, and published reports by consumer watchdog organizations except for the following:
 * 3) ** Media reprints of press releases, other publications where the club or organization talks about itself, and advertising for the club, society, or organization.
 * 4) ** Works carrying merely trivial coverage, such as newspaper articles that simply announce forthcoming club meetings or the publications of telephone numbers and addresses in directories.''

So what you'd need to do is cite examples within the article of coverage which the club has received in such sources. You mention that the club is well known in the county - have there been any newspaper or magazine articles written about them (not match reports or scores but actual articles about the club itself)? That's the sort of thing you'd need to be looking for in order to meet the above criteria and keep the article on here.

Good luck with both the article and the team!

All the best
