Malin GAA

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

One sentence article, states little other than location and existence of club. Wuhwuzdat (talk) 14:48, 30 April 2009 (UTC) 
 * Delete at present. Club plays in Donegal Div 2 but has no record of national success in club championship that I can find. Would seem to fail WP:ORG on lack of national scope. Similar notability in football (soccer) project would also require this I think -- Blue Square Thing (talk) 21:07, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Source. A new pitch opening sees the Ulster GAA President attend a match between Malin GAA and Donegal (the inter-county side presumably?) -- can  dle &bull; wicke  21:47, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Another source This one mentions a match with a side from Antrim! That's not in Donegal, in fact it's on the other side of the province so they must have played at provincial level at some point. -- can  dle &bull; wicke  21:50, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Another source This one would appear to contradict the claim they are in Division 2... it appears they were in Division 1 last season and beat Fanad who themselves were demoted to Division 2. -- can  dle &bull; wicke  21:54, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Another source This suggests the club did more for one family and a community than the Irish government... -- can  dle &bull; wicke  21:57, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Strong keep. -- can  dle &bull; wicke  22:01, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

 * I haven't changed. -- can  dle &bull; wicke  22:36, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm not really convinced. I think, given the GAA structure, we should be looking at them playing in some kind of national championship? I don't see that yet - but they may have and the sources, which for the GAA I find tricky to be honest, may just not be easy to find. I think Div 1B is essentially the second tier provincially btw, which doesn't suggest a high level of play or national notability within Ireland. But if you can source national notability then I'd be *very* happy. Until then I think I'm still with delete Blue Square Thing (talk) 19:06, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
 * One of the sources has them playing a match outside their county on the opposite side of the country (or a different one in fact, considering Antrim is in Northern Ireland). -- can  dle &bull; wicke  14:40, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, looks like a provincial championship though doesn't it? Rather than a national championship? If you can find them having won the Donegal championship and therefore technically representing Donegal in the All-Ireland's then I'd certainly say that was significant.

 * Delete. I would not say that the scope of the club's activities are "national or international in scale" per WP:CLUB. -- King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 05:22, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
