Most popular teams in scottish football

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

100% OR, all numbers are completely made up and, frankly, bear no resemblance to reality. I think Peterhead F.C. would be quite surprised to learn that they have 30,000 fans given that their average home attendance is around 500..... ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:48, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete - Big steaming pile of Wp:OR/Wp:HOAX. Also, to use the nom's words, I think Murrayfield would be surprised to learn that Pittodrie's larger than them, since the former's the largest stadium in Scotland and is Hearts' home ground.

 * Actually Hearts play at the considerably smaller Tynecastle Stadium...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:13, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
 * And as someone who comes from Edinburgh, I really should have remembered that. (Although they did play there in the UEFA Cup a few years back.) DitzyNizzy (aka Jess) &#124; (talk to me) &#124; (What I've done)  10:07, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete hoax --Dweller (talk) 11:00, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - Completely unsourced. I wouldn't go so far as to call this a hoax, but it is a really bad idea for an article. – PeeJay 12:40, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete It's a proven fact that... uh... 47 percent of statistics are made up on the spot. Maybe there is a source for the numbers.  And if that's true, then maybe there are only thirty-nine popular teams in Scotland.  Mandsford (talk) 12:43, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - This article is inherently subjective, completely unsourced, and a clear case of WP:OR. It's a clear cut deletion in my opinion. Sir Sputnik (talk) 14:29, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Same reasons as the previous version of this nonsense: Articles for deletion/Scottish team supporters list, deleted on April 13th. (And next time I'm watching a game with 499 others on a cold evening, I'll while away the time asking myself where the other 28,500 have gone?) AllyD (talk) 22:39, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - everyone knows that the Accies have 80 billion fans, this list if therefore false and should be deleted! GiantSnowman 01:11, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, ridiculous nonsense. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 07:29, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. WHAT? Inverness are more popular than the mighty St Johnstone? Get outta here... Ahem, like many people have already said, this is an unsourced piece of original research.  Bettia  (talk)  11:44, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, uncited OR. --Jimbo[online] 16:07, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete as WP:OR. --Carioca (talk) 21:29, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
