Barra Brava F.C.

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non-notable amateur soccer club playing in a local league, thus failing WP:NFOOTBALL. Article is unreferenced, thus failing WP:V. Soccer-holicI hear voices in my head... 15:37, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related deletions. Soccer-holicI hear voices in my head... 15:41, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - no evidence of notability. GiantSnowman 15:45, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete appears to be a non-notable 'fan' team without third party refs. Eldumpo (talk) 23:34, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep recently updated with third party refs. Notability exists because of relation to D.C. United and recognition in community service (now with references). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.49.44.242 (talk) 15:05, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
 * The DC United ref is not really third party, but the Washington Post one is. Do you have any others though to help confer notability? Eldumpo (talk) 21:54, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

 Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Scott Mac 22:05, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Delete: brief mention only in the WP as a supporter of D.C. United. Being a supporter of a notable organization does not confer notability. Warfieldian (talk) 15:17, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - as above. The club itself does not appear to be notable, and it cannot inherit notability from D.C. United. Sir Sputnik (talk) 17:03, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - WP:NFOOTBALL doesn't really cover football teams; WP:CLUB and WP:CORPDEPTH do, however. Only the DC Sports Blog reference gives significant coverage by a secondary source. But this source doesn't necessarily support the claim to notability in the article lead. The notability claim in turn fails WP:CLUB. Bleakcomb (talk) 12:23, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
