Cardiff Cobras

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Non notable. British University sports teams are rarely notable within their own institution never mind in the wider world. This does not appear to be one of the very small number of exceptions to this rule. A search on Google returns little beyond sites related to the team and its rivals. The only coverage I could find was this BBC page. The page is a local page for South-East Wales and does nothing beyond acknowledged the teams existence. It's also worth noting that it isn't updated anymore.

Article is unreferenced and given the lack of independent and reliable sources, I dont see anyway that it could be referenced. Given that the article hasn't had any non-trivial edits since its creation almost 5 years ago, it doesn't look likely that anyone will step forward to reference it, even if there were sources.

 * Delete per nom. This does not appear to be one of the few British university sports teams that meet WP:GNG. Pfainuk talk 06:44, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete no indpendent sources, no article.--Paul McDonald (talk) 21:51, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - with a few obvious exceptions, British university sports teams are rarely notable and this one makes no specific notability claims. TerriersFan (talk) 20:26, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
