Procedural nomination per discussion here. Non-notable rugby league team which should either be deleted outright or redirected to the historic club Broughton Rangers. J Mo 101 (talk) 17:35, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep - They play at a high standard in the amateur game, play at a Manchester City facility and are making noises about aiming for the professional game. Article should make use of the sources available rather than have someone put it up for deletion.Fleets (talk) 14:43, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep – We have plenty of amateur club articles already and this one rightly or wrongly gets a lot of press for it's association with foundation club Broughton. Skemcraig (talk) 19:22, 13 March 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Notability is not inhereted, nor is it established by what might happen in the future. Reliable sources needed.

 * Delete: An amateur club that appears to play in tier 6 of the British rugby league system, however I am unclear about this as the article is woefully lacking sources. The fact that the club has "ambition" is not relevant. At this stage, the club seems to be worth a sentence or two in the Broughton Rangers page and no more.

 * Delete -- a amateur club; no sources listed nor found to establish notability. What sources are there are local; not enough to meet WP:AUD. K.e.coffman (talk) 23:34, 1 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Broughton Rangers. Notability is not inherited, but it's a useful and plausible redirect to a page where it is mentioned. Votes to delete outright rather than redirect are not based in policy and those voters should review WP:ATD. Smartyllama (talk) 18:39, 2 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete- Poorly sourced article about a low level amateur sports club. I do not agree that their own unsubstantiated claims of being a "successor" to a former club entitles them to a mention at the former club's page. Reyk  YO!  14:41, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
