 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Football-related deletion discussions.  --  The  left orium  18:35, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete and merge any useful content into Glasgow University Sports Association. Article does not assert any notability of the subject independent of the parent institution. Cynical (talk) 19:03, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football related deletions. GiantSnowman 11:14, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect as per Cynical. However, if notability can be established outside of the parent association (as per the Universities listed in, or Cambridge and Oxford), then the seperate article should be allowed to stand. GiantSnowman 11:22, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep following the addition of new, referenced info by Jmorrison230582, which shows the club to be notable. GiantSnowman 17:10, 5 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Weak Keep. The general rule of thumb for football club notability is playing in national cup competitions, which this team passes (just) by virtue of playing in the Scottish Cup 2007–08 and Scottish Cup 2008–09 (and possibly a few more before that). Now all we have to do is find enough sources to give this article a much needed expansion - of course, if none could be found I may very change my stance on this.

 * Keep as they have played in the Scottish Cup Eldumpo (talk) 20:24, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep, due to participation in Scottish Cup they received substantial coverage on BBC Scotland television and radio and other Scottish media outlets. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 16:45, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Can you add evidence of said "substantial coverage" to the article please? GiantSnowman 16:47, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I have added a few articles from national outlets. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 17:06, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Article looks much better now, I'm changing my vote. GiantSnowman 17:10, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
