 * Comment Champions in their division in 2006 - but I don't know whether this is a sufficiently major league for that to constitute notability. SamBC(talk) 14:12, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

 * I'm not sure what I'm saying. I think it's Keep for now. It needs to be expanded but Wikipedia has no deadline and AfD is not cleanup. The topic may be unnotable, though, i suppose. It only gets 296 hits although I know that the Google test is not a proper indication of the notability. Perhaps you should discuss the notability with the author/editors of the page.

 * Delete - This sports club has not received coverage from reliable independent secondary sources and so there is insufficient evidence of notability to warrant a stub. --Goochelaar 14:26, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Non-notable, appears to play in second division of some local league. Stephen Turner (Talk) 14:43, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. This cricket club has been in existence for 144 years.  This rich history - older than Manchester United and every professional baseball team - makes it notable.  Their First XI seem to be doing well enough currently but cricket isn't about winning.  Colonel Warden 20:05, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - local cricket club with no apparent signs of notability.  - fchd 11:05, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
