Nottingham Outlaws (American football)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Not notable. British University American Football team. Sports teams at British Universities for mainstream British sports such as Soccer have next to no following within the institution never mind outside. American Football has next to zero following in the UK. Doing a quick google, once all the links to teams in other sports with the same name are filtered out (such as the more notable rugby league team) there appears to be nothing more than sites directly related to the team and its rivals. The lack of coverage probably also explains the lack of references in the article Pit-yacker (talk) 23:14, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete I've never been a fan of "mass deletions" but in this case it seems to be the right direction. The AfDs are coming up at a reasonable pace for individual article review.  This particualr subject seems to have very little sources and thus, to me, is a strong candidate for deletion.--Paul McDonald (talk) 04:49, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - university sport in the UK simply isn't notable. I work at a university with 30,000 students and I'd be surprised if 90% of them could even name any sports teams we have other than by guesswork -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:19, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. British university sports teams are only very rarely notable, and this does not appear to be an exception. Pfainuk talk 12:28, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
