Keep. As the author of the article, I have to disagree. The fact that the Gaelic football rankings is currently an unofficial (as in not recognised by a sporting body) ranking method is not included as a reason for deletion in WP:AfD. Also, the unofficial status of the ranking method is clearly indicated in the article. I do not believe that the ranking method constitutes original research as it is solely the repreresentation of exisiting information (results of Gaelic football games) in a different manner (results leading to exchange of rating points). All further information shown in the wiki is derived from this representation of information. The rankings have been in place less than one year and appear to be attracting between 15 and 20 views per day. While the importance of the ranking system (outside discussions on GAA matters) is not currently taken into consideration by the GAA governing bodies, one could envisage a time where rankings would be used to determine league seedings or championship seedings (should the championship structure ever change!). I request that the article not be deleted as it provides an interesting insight into the current and historical placings of Gaelic football county teams which is of interest to avid GAA supporters.

 * Delete - Unofficial rankings are by their nature unencyclopedic and seem to represent a level.of WP:OR. There is also a fair amount of WP:POV in the article with headings such as "Greatest Shocks." The lack of coverage of these unofficial standings outside of primary sources means the article fails WP:N. — Jkudlick t c s 09:09, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
