Old Chelmsfordians F.C.

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable club. Does not play at step 7, and does not appeared to have played above this level in the past. Was nominated for deletion in the past and kept, but since then articles on similar clubs have been consistently deleted (e.g. Oakley United, Stansfeld O&BC F.C. etc).

 * Keep Old Chelmsfordians recently played in the Essex Olympian League, which, while Step 7, is effectively a 10th level league because it is a direct feeder to the level 9 Essex Senior League. Furthermore, it was agreed that EOL Division One clubs are inherently notable. -- S iva1979 Talk to me 15:16, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Where was this agreed? All the agreements I have seen point to Step 12 being non-notable. Number   5  7  15:21, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Siva's point was that the season before last this club was in the EOL's top division (then called Div One, since renamed the Premier Div) and that the EOL's top division should count as an "honorary" Level 10 division as, despite being officially graded by the FA as Level 11, it actually promoted directly into a Level 9 league. Hope that made sense.... ChrisTheDude 15:31, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, I know how the pyramid works. Stansfeld O&BC are in exactly the same situation (i.e no step 6 league in Kent) but the article was still deleted. The EOL hardly ever promotes to the ESL anyway (in recent years clubs have only come from the Essex Business League and the Middlesex County League!), so to say that EOL1 is effectively Step 7 is a bit optimistic.

 * Delete Plays at too low a level. Edison 20:14, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - it has been agreed that notability starts at level 10 and there is no evidence that this team have ever played at that level; the article for its present league confirms that it is at level 12. Also, the article lacks the necessary multiple, reliable sources. TerriersFan 20:25, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Has played at too low a level. I am not convinced by the argument that the EOL be granted a 'honorary' level 10 designation, it is either level 10 or not imo. --Malcolmxl5 07:15, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
