Ardmore GAC

This seems to be a very minor local club with little significance outside its city. It's certainly not professional. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 03:45, 31 July 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment - a minor point - there are no professional teams in Gaelic Games, because the rules specifically prohibit players being paid to play.......... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:18, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, North America1000 00:52, 7 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete I can't find any non-routine coverage of this team, and I can hardly even find routine coverage. I even tried looking up their name in Gaelic but still nothing. If someone can turn some up I'd be willing to change my mind but as of now I can't find anything. Chuy1530 (talk) 00:09, 8 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete -- As a club playing only in a county league, not a national one, I do not think it can claim to be WP-notable. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:49, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment/Question - I would tend to agree with the nom and Northamerica1000 and Peterkingiron, particularly since this club's own webpage is no longer in existence. However I noticed the template at the bottom of the article, which lists all Derry GAA clubs. Just looking at the one category in which this article is placed, Junior Football Championships, and the other entries all have articles, and all are as just poorly sourced as this one.  I know that WP:OSE is usually not an argument, regarding Deletion discussions, it says "In general, these deletion debates should focus mainly on the nominated article. In consideration of precedent and consistency, though, identifying articles of the same nature that have been established and continue to exist on Wikipedia may provide extremely important insight into the general concept of notability, levels of notability (what's notable: international, national, regional, state, provincial?), and whether or not a level and type of article should be on Wikipedia." I'm not trying to threaten all those articles with deletion, but I am rather new to AfD, and am simply trying to gain an understanding of how to make a determination in cases like these. Thanks.
