Eglinton F.C.

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Brand-new club at the lowest level of Scottish football, not notable (just some very local coverage, just like nearly every organisation, club, ... in a village will have). Looking for "Sammy Taggart" (the coach) plus "Eglinton" gives all of 8 Google hits, looking for "Eglinton FC" gives 31 hits (identical results for FC or F.C.). Perhaps a redirect to Kilwinning, and a short addition there, could be a solution? Fram (talk) 09:22, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete. Nice try but there doesn't appear to be any coverage in secondary sources, which you need to demonstrate notability per Wikipedia rules (see WP:GNG). I oppose any redirect to Kilwinning, as there isn't any info in the Kilwinning article right now about this Eglinton FC, and based on ProQuest results, there is a football club in New South Wales also called Eglinton FC which appears more notable. (And in Scotland, don't forget Cronberry Eglinton F.C. and Ayr Eglinton F.C., which may be responsible for some of the other Google results.) Cielquiparle (talk) 09:56, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete - no evidence of notability. If sources are found please ping me. GiantSnowman 21:24, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete Agree with nominator, this article is way off base for what constitutes GNG guidance. Govvy (talk) 10:29, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
