Felpham Colts Football Club

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

originally PROD'ed by me with the rationale "non-notable youth sports club". An IP posted this on the talk page: "This article is about an important youth football club in the South of England involving more that a thousand people and should remain". Although the IP did not remove the PROD template, I'm going to consider this a disputed PROD and have thus brought it to AfD ChrisTheDude (talk) 06:54, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete - no evidence of notability, looks more like an advertisement than an encyclopedia article. --Angelo (talk) 08:44, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Only contributing editor to date has no other edits to his/her name, related username, and has set user page as a redirect to the article, suggesting conflict of interest and promotion (and possibly a familiarity with Wikipedia that hints at sockpuppetry?) No sources, no verifiability, no claim of notability. Kevin McE (talk) 10:00, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Why would you call this a "non-notable youth sports club guys. I know this club and they are a very big football club.  The biggest in the county I think. Who says you can delete it anyway.  Wikipedia doesn't have official editors.  If you want to edit it - go ahead.  Otherwise leave these people to be - they are good guys.  On of my neighbours plays with them  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.188.225.55 (talk) 12:35, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

 * For info, another IP has placed this on the article's talk page, which could be interpreted as a keep !vote (albeit from an IP): This appears to be a page about quite a substantial youth football club. I guess other people can edit the page if they have knowledge of the club. Seems okay to remain as a valid page. Can't see any reason why anyone would want to remove it. Seems to provide good information about a good local organisation -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 13:10, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete as a G11 promotion. Even if not a speedy, WP:WEBHOST applies here.  If every community organization had its own article on Wikipedia, it wouldn't be Wikipedia. Mandsford (talk) 19:54, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete fails general notability guidelines and may be WP:SPAM. Valenciano (talk) 20:26, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
