Delete. Article is about a local club that does not seem notable. No references. Orrelly Man (talk) 09:51, 7 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep Evidently notable. Colonel Warden (talk) 23:22, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. I notice that you are part of a group that actively seeks to keep articles and I would ask whether such a group is acting in the best interests of the site, because one of the main problems for readers using the site is the volume of rubbish that has been dumped.  As for this article, I had a look at the cricket project's home page and under WP:CRIN they deal with the question of notability for cricket articles.  Regarding clubs that have not played first-class cricket, their guideline for British clubs is as follows:
 * "those clubs which have competed in the Minor Counties Championship or are included in the List of English cricket clubs do meet the notability requirements. The essence of the latter group is that the clubs belong to one of the Bradford Cricket League, the Lancashire League, the Central Lancashire League or one of the ECB Premier Leagues."
 * Glenrothes is a minor club in a minor league and does not meet the cricket project's criteria for notability. If you wish, ask the project for their views at WT:CRIC.  --Orrelly Man (talk) 19:30, 9 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete per above unless the project corrects it. SGGH ping! 22:22, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Non-notable local club, playing in a non-notable league. Maybe worth a single sentence in the Glenrothes article, but no more than that. wjemather bigissue 00:14, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. This club is not notable under WP:CRIN. However, the notability criteria for Great Britain does not mention Scotland, meaning all Scottish cricket clubs would not be notable, a subject that should be raised at the WikiProject. DeMoN  2009  17:52, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Scotland is part of Great Britain SGGH ping! 20:07, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
 * But I have now checked out the Scottish cricket leagues and realise what you mean, so never mind :D SGGH ping! 20:12, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
