 * Comment. It looks like their current league is at Step 7, so doesn't this count them as notable? (I can't find the notability guideline for this - could anyone point me to it?)--Michig (talk) 11:26, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
 * The WP:FOOTY rule-of-thumb cut-off-point is Step 6 -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 11:27, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I can't see any mention of a step cut off at WP:FOOTY. The notability link only seems to apply to players. I'm happy to go along with consensus on notability, but I'd like to know where this is documented. Thanks.--Michig (talk) 11:29, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't think it's written down anywhere but has been established by precedent in many past AfDs such as all these: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 11:35, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete . OK, cheers Chris. Might be an idea for the footy project folks to document this as a guideline to make it easier/quicker to deal with cases such as this.--Michig (talk) 11:40, 6 October 2008 (UTC) Neutral until we get some documented agreed notability criteria.--Michig (talk) 21:04, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
 * See my response in the other, similar, AfD.... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 06:57, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep; I think the players on this team probably aren't notable, but the team seems to be. Stifle (talk) 11:43, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - the Leicestershire Senior League was a de facto Step 6 type league from 1999 to about 2004, when all three Midland Alliance feeders were dropped to Step 7 (The WMRL and Mid Comb since regained official Step 6 status while the LSL didn't). I don't necessarily agree with the fact that "Step 6 = notable" and "Step 7 = non-notable" by default, let alone the fact that a single FA Vase appearance gives notability, but if that is the consensus we are working with, Aylestone Park pass. - fchd (talk) 16:28, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per Richard Rundle. matt91486 (talk) 21:03, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - The argument that the LSL Premier was "de facto" Step 6 is weak and flawed! The KCL and Essex Olympian League are still "de facto" step 6 but that hasnt't stopped any of their member clubs (who havent played at "proper" step 6 before on in the FAC or FAV) having their articles deleted. Sarumio (talk) 21:33, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
 * But were they ever an official feeder to a league now at Step 5? The LSL was. - fchd (talk) 11:50, 7 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep until a consensus can be reached on the cut off level, I would also suggest the connection with Gary Lineker and Joe Mattock also adds a bit of notability. Skitzo (talk) 14:29, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per Richard Rundle. GiantSnowman 19:21, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
