Coventry United F.C.

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

New football club playing at the very lowly 12th level of English football, at which many teams simply play on open pitches in public parks. Accepted cutoff for presumed noability at WP:FOOTY has for many years been level 10, i.e. the level at which teams are eligible to enter the FA Cup. PROD was disputed by with the rationale "I thought Level 12 was generally the dividing line. None the less, seems to have (barely) attracted enough media coverage to meet WP:GNG". I disagree, so I have brought it here....... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:06, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Reluctant delete. There is some coverage (WSC, Coventry Observer), but I don't think this is sufficient to satisfy WP:N. Perhaps a case of WP:TOOSOON (i.e. people hoping it to be another FC United / AFC Wimbledon, but it hasn't done enough yet). Jmorrison230582 (talk) 09:33, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - Fails WP:FOOTYN as has not competed in a national competition. Does seem potentially like a case of TOOSOON and would be happy to change my vote if additional coverage along the lines of FC United / AFC Wimbledon can be found. Fenix down (talk) 10:20, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment Controversy and founding could be covered in Coventry City F.C. though a full merge would be excessive. --Colapeninsula (talk) 11:11, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to Coventry City F.C. until such time as it becomes independently notable. GiantSnowman 13:21, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete as being WP:TOOSOON to meet WP:GNG, or to be notable otherwise. Luke no 94  (tell Luke off here) 16:56, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete – insufficient coverage to be deemed notable at this time. C679 13:07, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - not worthy of notice at this stage and would likely set a precedent for an avalanche of similar non notable teams worldwide. Such as the team I'm currently playing on, a team name I will not mention or propose for inclusion :) CrookedwithaK (talk) 10:52, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
