Just the same as the last time this was deleted Articles_for_deletion/Brimsdown_F.C., it's a non-notable club that plays at the 11th level of British Football and is non-notable. BrigadierG (talk) 19:08, 10 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep Have played in the FA Vase, therefore notable. Kivo (talk) 20:00, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
 * NFOOTY was deprecated, this is no longer true BrigadierG (talk) 12:34, 11 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Can't it be merged with Essex Alliance Football League or Brimsdown if NN?  Crouch, Swale  ( talk ) 07:33, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
 * A merge to Brimsdown might work. Merging this level detail on just one member club into the article on a league with over 70 members would be WP:UNDUE, I think -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:04, 12 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I would support a merge to Brimsdown, if nothing else so that the distinction between David Beckham's Brimsdown Rovers and Brimsdown FC is clear. Cielquiparle (talk) 08:10, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep The club has paticipated in the FA Vase and it was decided many years ago that clubs which have competed in the FA Vase, regardless of their current level, are considered notable for articles on Wikipedia. Rillington (talk) 10:06, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
 * That was presumably part of the old WP:NFOOTY which was depreciated. Joseph2302 (talk) 10:13, 11 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete club fails WP:GNG. We don't need articles on every football club that's ever existed, we should only be keeping articles if they meet WP:GNG, which most small football teams at this level will not. Joseph2302 (talk) 10:13, 11 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete - no evidence of notability. If sources are found please ping me. GiantSnowman 19:27, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge to a subsection of Brimsdown. There is a lot of sourced encyclopaedic information here (judging by it being of the type that's included in articles about unquestionably notable football clubs) and so there is no justification to delete it from the encyclopaedia completely. However the strict reading of the notability guidelines currently in favour precludes it being a standalone article so it should be merged somewhere. Merging to the article about a league would be undue detail and they could be in a different league this time next year, and a third league a year after that. The article about the settlement it is named for and represents is the other obvious target, has the advantage of being a logical place for people to look for it who can't quite remember the name (is it United? Rovers? FC? AFC? Town? Athletic?) and doesn't suffer from the impermanence issues the league does. It will be slightly too long for the subsection, and it wouldn't surprise me if it needs to be split out again at some point relatively soon, but that's a question for the future when hopefully a more pragmatic attitude to notability guidelines will prevail.
