 * Delete team definitely exists but has never played in the top 10 levels of the English football league system or entered a national cup competition, the usual benchmark of notability applied by the WP:FOOTY project. Hard to Google such a generic name, but I haven't turned up any sources whatsoever thus far -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:16, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, nn team as per reasons stated above. --Jimbo[online] 12:04, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, this is a genuine and legitimate team. The details provide factual information and this should be open to the public. Why should lower league clubs not be allowed to have pages on Wiki? —Preceding unsigned comment added by FC Team (talk • contribs) 22:44, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment It's a completely arbitrary thing really, as the team is level 11, it is clearly completely unnotable, while a level 10 team is clearly absolutely notable. Seriously though, if there was some amount of media coverage, etc., of them, particularly of a national level, it would go to supporting their inclusion here. The article has no references. Can you produce some? Nfitz (talk) 04:23, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
 * It's not "completely arbitrary" at all, it's based on the level at which teams are allowed to enter the national cup competitions (FA Cup and FA Vase) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 19:40, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
 * According to there are level 12 teams playing for the vase last time. So perhaps that makes level 11 teams notable then, if that is the basis? Nfitz (talk) 22:31, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Any level 11/12 teams which have entered the Vase must be truly exceptional, as the requirements of the competition include a floodlit ground, which pretty much no level 11 teams have. A proposal to make level 11 teams inherently notable was raised last year and categorically defeated.  Specific examples were found of level 11 matches drawing less than 10 paying spectators, and in fact many level 11 clubs don't even charge for admission, or even play on public park pitches.  It would be pretty farcical to make such clubs "inherently notable".  If this team had ever entered the Vase, I might be tempted to !vote to keep, however they haven't.  I also would have !voted differently if any coverage in reliable sources could be found, but none appears to exist -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:47, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Plus, of course, this team doesn't play at level 11 anyway :-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:53, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Ah yes, it would appear that the first Division is level 12, and the Premier division is level 11 (how one can have both a first division and a first division is beyond me, don't the English speak English any more?). I'm not arguing that this team is notable, simply that the hard cut-off of Level 10 is arbitrary - that link I provided showed that 66 of the 489 teams in last years vase were below level 10.

 * Delete Nothing like a notable team. More like a pub team —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jinnocranes (talk • contribs) 14:51, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Why does this bother people so much? It is a legitimate team, provides factual information about them and does no harm being included for information purposes on wiki —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.135.207.46 (talk) 22:08, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Not a notable team; hasn't played in high enough levels of competition to make it notable. Bart133 t c @ How's my driving? 22:39, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
