 * Comment. Semi-professional team with over 500 Google News Archives hits mainly from the Cairns Post. I have flagged the issue at the Australian Wikipedian notice board as to the notability criteria for sports teams. Capitalistroadster 03:17, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment those results would consist to a large extent of match results: ie would be trivial coverage.Garrie 22:26, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge with Cairns AFL. Capitalistroadster 01:55, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. - topic has systemic bias issues. cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 12:00, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - What systemic bias issues? It is a mens Australian rules football team in regional Queensland, barely semi-professional. While I have no strong thoughts either way about keeping it, it should be noted that AFL Cairns has been merged in Australian rules football leagues in regional Queensland. Given that the league was merged, is there much chance for the team? -- Mattinbgn/talk 00:33, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as the editor who merged the leagues into Australian rules football leagues in regional Queensland - none of the leagues individually meet either WP:N or WP:CORP, so I can only assume none of the teams do either. Match results are only trivial coverage, related generally to the league not to the teams discussed.Garrie 22:25, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per Garrie and Mattinbgn. The article on Australian rules football leagues in regional Queensland seems to be about the right level of aggregation for this kind of a semi-professional team. While that article is not polished, and it has more low-level detail than needed, it has some explanatory text and gives the general feel for the competitors and level of play. The present article is hopelessly telegraphic and too local, and it's not clear there are any sources to make it better. I didn't find a notability criterion for football teams in either WP:FOOTY or WP:AFL, but others could have more knowledge of those projects. EdJohnston 01:53, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
