Otley Cricket Club

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Declined PROD (I wasn't the PRODer). No independent sources to establish notability. Longetivity in this case is not the same as notability, most English cricket clubs are over 100 years old, and that is not just the reason to include. In addition, the sourcing is extremely bad, local, and unreliable.

Cricket is after football, the most popular sport in the world, and a club without any national or international sourcing is most likely not notable, no matter how old. Cerejota (talk) 15:46, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Their are numerous national football clubs that have article where age is less than 30 or 20 years and didn't appeared in international arena. This is really vague statement by above user that cricket is after football. Dr meetsingh  Talk  05:41, 23 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete No significant coverage in reliable sources so fails WP:GNG. Mt  king  (edits)  03:13, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete I agree with the rationale of the nominator, as well as what Mtking has put. Age doesn't automatically imply notability. AssociateAffiliate (talk) 11:15, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge One of the oldest cricket club. I think it should be merged to article like england cricket or History of cricket. Dr meetsingh  Talk  08:40, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Otley, where pretty much everything worth saying about the club (except possibly its age) is already mentioned. This would also seem to be a better target than something cricket-related since the club seems to be more of local interest than sport-wide. Alzarian16 (talk) 21:32, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Alzarian16's suggestion makes sense actually, no harm in redirecting the page to the sports section of Otley, so I'll change my vote to redirect. AssociateAffiliate (talk) 22:39, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
