Oxford Cavaliers

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Not notable. British university sports teams in mainstream British sports (e.g. soccer) are rarely of note within their institution, never mind the wider world. This American Football team does not appear to be one of the exceptions. A quick google reveals nothing other than sites directly related to the team and its rivals (Note not to confuse sites referring to the more notable Rugby League team of the same name). Article is unreferenced. Given the lack of independent sources, there is little prospect of being able to reference it. Pit-yacker (talk) 18:19, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete no independent sources given.--Paul McDonald (talk) 18:54, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per lack of independent sources. It is an unusual British university sports team that actually meets our notability criteria, and this isn't one of them. Pfainuk talk 19:04, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - As I stated in the deletion rationale for Tarannau Aberystwyth, Uni sports teams are rarely notable within their own campus. This team is no different. (Also, a Google search, removing references to the rugby team of the same name, reveals nothing that can make this a referenced article.)
