 * Delete – has played in the qualifying rounds of the FFA Cup but I don't feel that satisfies FOOTYN, as 620 teams took part in this year's qualifying competition for 22 places in the actual tournament. GNG is clearly not met. C679 10:33, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - fails WP:GNG. Playing in a qalifying round is not enough per WP:FOOTYN, which is a WikiProject's out-dated essay anyway. GiantSnowman 12:16, 3 April 2014 (UTC) GiantSnowman 12:16, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - per GS, GNG is most important. FOOTYN might be outdated and an essay, but its principles still apply here, the FFA cup is regional until the round of 32, by FOOTYN, it is only a national competition once a club reaches that stage. Fenix down (talk) 13:20, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment: What is our policy on the FA Cup? I thought any team that took part got an article? --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 17:44, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
 * The FA Cup is national at all stages though is it not? There are no regional qualifying rounds, so a club has participated at a national level regardless of the level of progress made in the competition. Fenix down (talk) 08:41, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
 * In the case of Melbourne University, they reached the final 64 of the Dockerty Cup. Only the final four of this competition play in the FFA Cup. Hack (talk) 07:22, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
