The result was   delete. Unsalvaged despite the relisting; sadly, "is interesting" does not allay the lack of notability. &mdash; Coren (talk) 01:21, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete. No third-party reliable sources establishing usage of this term outside the organization promoting it. --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 00:16, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

"The website or content has won a well-known and independent award from either a publication or organization"

The website and forum was the awarded with the ‘Unsung Hero’ award in the international football section of the FFA awards for the good work it did in stamping out sectarianism within Northern Ireland football - Official Website Of The Irish Football Association as recognised by FIFA

The awards night was attended by Gregory Campbell MP, Kate Hoey MP. The Awards Ceremony which was held at the Ramada Hotel in Belfast; was hosted by Northern Ireland’s very own Radio One DJ and Channel Five Football Presenter star Colin Murray and local actor and director Dan Gordon. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MazePrison (talk • contribs) 12:16, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge - if it is a nickname for a country (as the very first sentence states), then it should be in the Article about that country. As for the Fansite/forum, Citations out the wazoo are needed to support all the statements made. Citations for "7000 members" & "400,000 topic views a month" being highest on the list, if thats where WP:N would be claimed. A good first attempt at an Article by a new Editor, but, decide what the Article is about, streamline it, assert WP:N, give inline Citations. Exit2DOS2000   •T•C•  00:47, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete This article was deleted a few days ago and this editor has attempted to restart it again. A fan website is not notabile.CroatiaShoes (talk)
 * Comment The deleted version consisted only of the name of the web site; it was rightfully deleted as lacking content, but that deletion shouldn't be used as a reason to delete this version, which has much more information and an attempt to source. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 16:08, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Retraction Sorry; I see it now, at the differently capitalized Our Wee Country. That one was deleted as lacking an assertion of notability and was quite similar to this article. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 16:10, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. The independently referenced award establishes notability per WP:WEB. There is no policy or guideline that says "a fan website is not notabile (sic)" - any type of subject matter can potentially be notable if the sources are there to support it. Any issues identified above are matters for editing, not deletion. Phil Bridger (talk) 08:41, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Im not as convinced as you are that the Award passes as "a well-known and independent award", but then I dont really know much about Irish Football Awards/Leagues either. What are your thoughts? Exit2DOS2000   •T•C•  00:09, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

I’m working on more sources and some fixes to above said article. What we have in OWC is a movement sweeping across Northern Ireland, it was a seed planted by Our Wee Country forum and website to make Northern Ireland football and country a better place for all and its working for all.
