Glasgow Tigers (BUAFL)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Non notable British University sports team. Sports teams at British Universities aren't usually notable. Often they are unheard of by the majority of students on campus. This team does not appear to be one of the small number of exceptions. When searching on google, after stripping out references to the speedway] team (vast majority -definitely notable) and the BAFL team (a handful - but none really constituting reference-able material) nothing appears to be left other than sites directly related to the team and its rivals.

I did consider proposing re-merging the BAFL article and this one. However:
 * 1) Although, they once shared an article here, it is not altogether clear that the two teams are formally linked.  Certainly neither appears to mention the other on their separate web-sites.
 * 2) Given the lack of material on the BAFL team, it isn't altogether clear to me how noteworthy is anyway.

A secondary issue is the article is unreferenced, and given the lack of reliable and/or independent sources I dont see any prospect of being able to reference it. Pit-yacker (talk) 17:47, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete - Like the majority of them, this is a non-notable British Uni team. And - after stripping out references to the speedway and more notable BAFL teams - there's nothing that can grant them notability.

 * Delete - as per nom and DitzyNizzy, this does not appear to be one of those rare notable British university sports teams. Pfainuk talk 20:28, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - Notable as a full, active member of BUAFL. See the extended discussion at Articles for deletion/Derby Braves. SteveStrummer (talk) 02:52, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
 * There seems little basis to assume that BUAFL members are inherently notable even in the absence of significant coverage in independent reliable sources. Please demonstrate that such coverage exists. Pfainuk talk 17:14, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete - complete failure to meet WP:ORG since there is no significant coverage in reliable sources. TerriersFan (talk) 00:17, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
