Fulbourn Institute F.C.
Fails WP:CORP, at 12th position, notability for English football clubs is 10th position. └ O z L a w y e r  / talk  ┐ 14:18, 23 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete If you are forced to resign from the Eastern Counties Football Leave you are a pretty small club, probably not even in the top 500 clubs in the country. DJ Clayworth 14:21, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Because the club has played at a notable level, its article should be maintained. It should be noted that the club did quite well in its last season in the ECL, but had to resign to due a ground issue. --Balerion 16:42, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete - have never played in levels 1-10 of English football league system, fails WP:CORP, no other claim to notability. Qwghlm 11:15, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment - They played at level 10 last season. --Balerion 15:48, 25 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep, the club already disputed a notable level. Carioca 21:09, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - Since they played in level 10 (I'm assuming this is accurate), that made them notable at one time. I don't think they suddenly become no longer notable after dropping down a league, especially when you consider they could promote right back to level 10 after this season, thus officially regaining their notability. Perhaps the notability guideline needs to be expanded to address this issue. - Pal 00:03, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. I'm basing this partly on DJ Clayworth's asserton that they aren't in the top 500 clubs in their country. There's a limit. We don't want to end up with 10,000 articles on football clubs - leave that to the football wiki, if there is one, and if there isn't I'm sure there will be. Plus, nominator notes it clearly fails to meet the specific criteria for football clubs. Yes, they were in Division One -- for one year, after which they were kicked out. If they get their act together and get a permanent slot in Division One, then the article can be re-created, maybe. Herostratus 22:51, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
 * keep please based on past participation at higher levels worse case this should be merged but erasing makes no sense at all Yuckfoo 18:45, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
