Nirimba Polecats

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

This is an article about an amateur university football club. It doesn't appear to be notable in any way. I am also nominating the following related pages about amateur university football club for the same reason:

 * Strong keep for Australian Catholic University which is a significant Australian university. It has no place in this deletion debate.
 * Delete others which are non-professional leagues, failing WP:ATHLETE and WP:Notability (organizations and companies). WWGB (talk) 11:01, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Nomination withdrawn for Australian Catholic University, which I obviously was not meaning to nominate for deletion, confused by the link.--Grahame (talk) 11:36, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - for all articles nominated. I fail to see any reason to delete. Fumoses (talk) 12:59, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
 * They're cited in the nomination. Perhaps you would care to address those? --CalendarWatcher (talk) 13:40, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I'd address them if an actual reason for deleting them was provided. Fumoses (talk) 14:26, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
 * "It doesn't appear to be notable in any way." is a subjective evaluation of importance, not a measure of notability, which involves determining whether multiple independent published works by reliable sources have covered the subject in depth. The nominator has not in fact addressed that at all.  Notability is not subjective.  Read User:Uncle G/On notability for how to write a good rationale. Uncle G (talk) 17:58, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
 * 'It doesn't appear to be notable in any way' is statement that there is no apparent evidence to support the claim--multiple independent published works by reliable sources have covered the subject in depth, say. Perhaps User:Fumoses could address that instead of running away from his non-responsive boiler-plate !vote? --CalendarWatcher (talk) 07:51, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per nomination. --CalendarWatcher (talk) 13:40, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per perfectly fine nomination. No evidence has been provided that the sporting clubs are in any way notable. Wiki-lawyering about the manner in which nominations are written does not actually aid this discussion. -- Mattinbgn\talk 19:27, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Nirimba Polecats and Macquarie University Rugby League Club, but Keep University (rugby league team). The former are amateur football clubs with no claim to notability, with the content fine for their respective websites, but not for an encyclopaedia.  The latter however is a club that formerly competed at close to the highest level and appears to claim a rich history, although there's work required to source information that suggests notability.

 * Nomination withdrawn for University (rugby league team) per Murtoa.--Grahame (talk) 12:51, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
