doubtful notability Postoronniy-13 (talk) 05:16, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Weak keep - competing in the FA Cup this season, which is usually considered sufficient to confer notability -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:27, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
 * In qualification? Is it sufficient to notability? Did it played in main part of FA Cup? --Postoronniy-13 (talk) 08:01, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Playing in the qualifying rounds of the FA Cup has always been deemed sufficient in the past -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:38, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
 * What a horror! :) Confirming links? --Postoronniy-13 (talk) 08:40, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
 * This recent AfD should suffice. Number   5  7  08:47, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep per FA Cup participation. Number   5  7  08:41, 1 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Also, it would be good, if in the articles about cup qualifications there were always links to existing articles about clubs - so will be better check notability speedy, using "what links here". --Postoronniy-13 (talk) 09:00, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
 * And it's my opinion that sufficiency to notability to participate in FA Cup qualification only is too soft approach to notability. But if this approach is really widespread, I respect this opinion of wiki-community. :) --Postoronniy-13 (talk) 09:06, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Even teams from the Conference National, many of which are full-time professional clubs with 10,000+ seat stadiums, have to enter the FA Cup in the qualifying rounds. It's not like the qualifying rounds are reserved for pub teams playing in the local park...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:20, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I know these facts. And I have no doubts in notability of Conference National teams, naturally. :) --Postoronniy-13 (talk) 09:29, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
