"I understand the terms of notability and verifiability and am seeking your advice in meeting these elements.
 * Delete - non-notable club -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 18:28, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

The football club has been in existence for ten years and has served many 100's of children and families over that time. The club is the largest organisation within this community. Derry Hill Utd is one of only five football clubs within Wiltshire who have achieved the FA's independently ratified quality mark of Charter Standard Community Club.

Members of the Club frequently receive FA and community awards for their work enhancing the well-being and experience of young children. The Chair is regularly contacted by BBC Wiltshire Radio to comment on a number of topics; children's football development, parental behaviour and support, community volunteering and support.

Please offer advice on whether the above helps address notability/verifiability."
 * Comment - In its current state it gives no indication of notability whilst reading the above however i am inclined to believe that it is possible with sources that show the above could indicate that may pass GNG but only with major improvement and Reliable sources with out that it should be deleted. Im not saying it will just that it could with major improvements. It is a non notable club so would never pass football inclusion guidlines so would have to be notable for another reason Warburton1368 (talk) 21:57, 23 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment - Shame I spent my time trying to understand Wikipedia and putting the article together. A real bug bear of mine, wasting one's own time in the pursuit of others benefit. I won't be investing even more time in such activity. That's another free resource Wikipedia has just lost to build it's empire. I'm done, delete as you see fit.

 * Comment - Apologies if you mistook Wikipedia (an encyclopoedia) for a company that gives out free web hosting for small/amateur sport clubs regardless of notability. I think you're looking for Pitchero. Delusion23 (talk) 10:29, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
