Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Balaklava Football Club (2nd nomination)


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was redirect to Adelaide Plains Football League. I'm in agreement with PMC, I don't see any problem with running several AfDs concurrently.  —&#8288;Scotty Wong &#8288;— 17:16, 8 November 2021 (UTC)

Per the recently closed Articles for deletion/Hamley Bridge Football Club, this club represents a local village with populations of around 2,000 that play against each other nearby villages. Given that around 12% of Australians are males between 15-35 years old, that means that these villages have around 200 prime-aged males to select for their teams, and these clubs are nowhere near notable in terms of sporting merit. The only refs are village newspapers or the books by Peter Lines on rural local football teams, which are self-published books Bumbubookworm (talk) 05:25, 20 October 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: IMO, listing three similar articles in separate AfDs on one day is not so taxing to editors in the topic area (nor so overbearing on the AfD process in general) that it justifies a procedural close. More than five, maybe, but not three. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 06:16, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment -, the consensus was to deal with these one at a time, not give you license to just run the lot of them again together. Can you please withdraw the nomination for all of these except one so proper consideration can be given to each AfD debate, and run them ONE at a time? Deus et lex (talk) 11:58, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep for failure to properly run this AfD. Deus et lex (talk) 10:47, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment -, at least 4 have been nominated at the same time, and on the same day that the previous AfD was closed, in direct contradiction to the consensus reached earlier. It's disruptive. Deus et lex (talk) 09:47, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I've replied at Articles for deletion/Two Wells Football Club. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 19:00, 28 October 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete: per nom, notability not demonstrated. Alternative would be a merge to Adelaide Plains Football League. No need for a speedy close, correct AfD process has been followed as discussed at Articles for deletion/Two Wells Football Club. Nelertasta (talk) 03:26, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Adelaide Plains Football League: The available sourcing fails to meet the bar of notability. Redirecting to the overarching league as an alternative to deletion seems appropriate. I have considered and discount the concerns regarding procedural irregularities as unfounded. Jack Frost (talk) 11:18, 4 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Adelaide Plains Football League per above as WP:ATD-R. Whether that league is notable might be a discussion for another day. Qwaiiplayer (talk) 12:53, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
