Sheffield Hallam Warriors

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Not notable. British University sports teams are rarely notable within their own institution never mind in the wider world. Sheffield Hallam Warriors do not appear to be one of the mere handful of exceptions to this rule. A search for any mention on the Internet returns only sites directly related to the team and its rivals. Those who are unsure of the level of interest in the team might like to check the team's Flickr stream noting the number spectators at their matches. Article is also completely unreferenced. Given the lack of independent sources on the team, I don't see any prospect that the article can be referenced. Pit-yacker (talk) 14:17, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. This team, like others recently nominated, does not appear to be one of the very few UK university sports teams that meet our notability criteria. Pfainuk talk 18:16, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete does not meet notability standards.--Paul McDonald (talk) 19:17, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - There's only a few notable uni teams in the United Kingdom. This isn't one of them. (Especially since a Google search only brings up their pages and those of their rivals.) DitzyNizzy (aka Jess) &#124; (talk to me) &#124; (What I've done)  22:12, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
