Delete, non notable small sport conference Hell In A Bucket (talk) 16:24, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete: Well, though from a fairly large city, is does not meet specific notability guidelines listed under WikiProject Football. By their definition, if not in the standard level 1-15 standard a team must be the highest level of national grouping. An amateur soccer league in one city is far below that standard. ♪ daTheisen(talk) 18:12, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Pedantic comment - The league's in Fife, which is a county in Scotland, not a city. DitzyNizzy (aka Jess) | (talk to me) | (What I've done)  19:45, 29 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete - To confer notability, a Scottish team would have to play in at least the Third Division or the Scottish Cup. They've done neither. (Incidentally, the division they play in isn't notable enough for its own article.) DitzyNizzy (aka Jess) | (talk to me) | (What I've done)  19:34, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Aha! Thank you for the specifics on which do count. My logic was that, since it's just a city there's no way it could be a league of sufficient level to count as "national". Since there's no official 1-15 marked for it it's kind of a guess job. ...And yes, I figured the team wasn't notable because their division wasn't. The collection of junk in the football catacombs is massive and I'll be glad to have 1 less thing. ♪ daTheisen(talk) 01:46, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete - very non-notable club. Note that hailing "from a fairly large city" has no bearing on a club's notability - there are literally hundreds of football clubs in London or Manchester or Birmingham, most of which are completely non-notable.  I live in Birmingham and a quick search on the FA's website suggests there are at least 30 men's football clubs just within 2 miles of my house....... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 14:31, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
