Club has only ever played in minor amateur competitions, therefore fails WP:FOOTYN. Also fails WP:N due to lack of significant coverage. Jellyman (talk) 18:35, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete - Amateur club which has not participated in a national cup or at a level to meet WP:FOOTYN. Insufficient coverage to meet WP:GNG. — Jkudlick t c s 20:08, 25 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment - they have competed in, and in fact won, the Scottish Amateur Cup, which is a national cup............ -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 20:36, 25 November 2015 (UTC)
 * A national cup, not the national cup, and – as the name implies – a minor one not one open to professional teams. It doesn't confer notability. Jellyman (talk) 21:59, 25 November 2015 (UTC)
 * ...and yet appearing in the FA Vase, the equivalent competition in England, is accepted as establishing notability? Hardly seems fair -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 10:17, 26 November 2015 (UTC)
 * It's not really a direct equivalent. Clubs in the FA Vase are part of the pyramid system, and generally play in enclosed grounds, are semi-professional, etc. Amateur clubs in Scotland are not part of the senior system and generally play on public parks and the like. And you will find hardly anything by way of reliable sources for most of them, beyond routine coverage of results. Jellyman (talk) 19:32, 29 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Cmt If this goes a few dozen Scottish 'junior' clubs will need to go too. SevcoFraudsters (talk) 22:39, 25 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, there's certainly an argument to be had there, but having said that, junior football is clearly of a higher grade than the amateur game. Jellyman (talk) 19:32, 29 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete Unreferenced article, no evidence of notability. Eldumpo (talk) 21:37, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
