Cowfold F.C.

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Cowfold F.C. article should be deleted or merged with Cowfold as the team is not notable. It is not notable as it has not competed in the F.A. Cup which has been suggested as the barometer by which team's notability should be judged (in England). I agree with this as it is a competition that is not only national, but also one which is competed in by top-flight professional clubs (i.e. clubs at the beginning stages have a thoretical chance of playing against professional sides). This is contrary to the F.A. Vase which, while national, only goes up to Step 4 (level 8). The criteria for team notability should be made clearer in the Sports notability page. There are many non-notable English football team pages. Please feel free to add any more to this discussion.Delusion23 (talk) 11:06, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete - currently competes at Level 12 and no evidence that it has competed at a sufficient level for notability. GiantSnowman 12:44, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - playing at level 12 of the football pyramid definitely doesn't make the club inherently notable, and there is nothing to indicate that it passes WP:GNG. Sir Sputnik (talk) 06:18, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
