Blunsdon United F.C.

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

A page that has been deleted twice: speedy deleted CSD A7 and then by WP:PROD, in February. It has been recreated again. Nothing has changed, the article still does not indicate how the club is of significance or importance and the rationale for the prod, "Football club playing county-league football in a park, well below the level that is deemed notable", remains true.

 * Delete Non notable club no sources to back up any claim to notability not that the article makes any. BigDunc  Talk 22:19, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete I was going to suggest another speedy under WP:CSD, but it doesn't qualify as it never went to AfD. Either way, the article needs deleting as it is about a non-notable club. GiantSnowman 22:20, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete & Salt. Sufficient proof of non-notability already established. Eddie.willers (talk) 03:00, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. I strongly suspect this article is a very detailed and elaborate hoax. A little light fisking reveals: no Google hits for the club's alleged chairman or manager; a Companies House search reveals no listing for the club's alleged grounds owner; a Google map search does not show an 'Ermin Street', the alleged location of the club's ground; Companies House does not have a listing for 'Headlands WC', the alleged club sponsor...I will not continue.

 * Much of the info may be false, but a club of this name certainly exists in the Wiltshire County League - see here. However, even if we stripped out all the obviously fake info, the level this club plays at is way way below that which we consider notable, so it would end up getting deleted anyway...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 06:48, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Response to ChrisTheDude: I accept that the club itself is genuine and has verifiable existence. However, I maintain that much of the article is suspect and non-verifiable. Eddie.willers (talk) 14:53, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - really non-notable club (if it's relevant, for full disclosure I think I was the one who PROD'ed the previous incarnation) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 06:48, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
