American Express F.C.

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable football club. Never played above level 12 of the English football league system, when by precedent only clubs at level 10 or above have been deemed notable. Almost all of the other clubs in this division could also be nominated (with the exception of Portslade who have played at a higher level in the past. fchd (talk) 12:05, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as proposal, not notable. Srpnor (talk) 12:08, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. Club is a member of the "Brighton, Hove and District Football League" which also has clubs like "Master Tiles" and "Brighton Electricity".  It's not quite Arsenal.  American Express FC-- Don't leave Hove without it!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mandsford (talk • contribs) 12:58, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete according to Tony Kempster the Brighton league is actually level 11, not 12, but the proposal still applies. Judging from the official website it appears to be a very lowly level 11 league indeed with most of the teams playing in public parks..... ChrisTheDude (talk) 13:34, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - no it is level 12, but Step 7. It feeds another Step 7 division (Sussex County League Division 3) at level 11. Confusing isn't it? - fchd (talk) 13:37, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Just the sort of nonsensicality that could only have come from the FA :-) Either way its teams clearly aren't notable, with the one exception you flagged up above..... ChrisTheDude (talk) 13:40, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. пﮟოьεԻ   5  7  13:35, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - despite the completely ambiguous claim regarding level 11 in the article Brighton Hove and District Football League, as a non-notable level 12 club which does not state or prove any achievements, it fails. Ref (chew) (do) 13:47, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete - per nom. GiantSnowman (talk) 17:06, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - per nom. And probably prod some more others after this. NB The Master Tiles entry says this division is level 11. Peanut4 (talk) 22:11, 6 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment It errs. It is a step/level mismatch occurring through the method of upward promotion in Sussex (typical). Someone (or some team of people) seems to have carefully pushed the level 11 point in all the articles for that league, if you take a look. Level 12 in truth. Ref (chew) (do) 22:51, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Can someone correct Master Tiles F.C. and Brighton Hove and District Football League if this is so. I'm confused as to the wording on the latter. Peanut4 (talk) 23:00, 6 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete - non-notable. -  Milk's   Favorite   Cookie  22:48, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
