2011 VCU Rams football team

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Fails basic notability standards. It's a club sport. There are hundreds of thousands of club sports teams across the United States and maybe 0.0005% of them are notable. The fact that this is VCU's first year fielding a football team of any kind also does not make it notable. Jrcla2 (talk) 04:29, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete Club teams are not notable. Merits a paragraph at best in the VCU Rams article. Blueboy96 12:38, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete Club Football teams do not meet basic notability standards, and there is no reason to see an exception here. It's possible that a club football team might be formed with the hopes of advancing to the NAIA or NCAA for competition, but if that is the case it should be mentioned on the school's athletics team page rather than having a stand-alone article.--Paul McDonald (talk) 15:54, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete per all above. The article has no sources. Furthermore, the article appears to be inaccurate in terms of listing the club's schedule. The club's own web site lists no upcoming games, and certainly they aren't going to be playing the varsity North Carolina Tar Heels next week as this article implies. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:29, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. This is a club team, not an officially-sanctioned NCAA football program.  No sourcing to establish notability. Cbl62 (talk) 21:13, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
