Contested prod. Unreferenced article about an amateur sporting club. No indication that it meets general notability guidelines. Lacks references to 3rd party sources RadioFan (talk) 15:44, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep - not only do they play at level 4 of the Irish pyramid, which emerging consensus indicates the threshold for notability, they have won that division, have won the FAI Intermediate Cup (equivalent to the English FA Trophy) and a number of international players have started their career at this club. The club have been the victims of a sectarian attack; here; coverage here etc. Plenty of sources are avaialable and improving the article by adding sources is the way to go.

 * Keep - as TerriersFan says, level 4 of the Irish football league is notable enough. GiantSnowman 18:41, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - if this is a notable level to be playing at, there should be 3rd party references where the team is the subject of the coverage, could you add some?--RadioFan (talk) 19:46, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Google News provides number of substantial hits for this team, which should be enough to pass WP:GNG. Bettia   (talk)  09:22, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment While Google hits can indicate how well known a subject is, it's no guarantee of meeting notability guidelines. The article has been updated since nomination but I'm not seeing clear claims of notability in the article.  The word "amateur" was removed which only further confuses things.  Is this a professional or amateur club or is this unknown?  Professional teams are generally notable but amateur teams could be as well with demonstration of sufficient coverage, this isn't there.--RadioFan (talk) 10:44, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Level 4 team. BigDunc  20:11, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Even the bit with Robbie Keane adds to notability and club pages have had more leeway than player articles. "The sum of it's parts!" Or something like that. Govvy (talk) 20:45, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep, appearance in the later stages of the FAI Cup pass notability in my opinion.--Vintagekits (talk) 10:22, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
