Sheffield Sabres (American football)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Non-notable university American Football team. University sports teams in the UK are rarely notable within their own institution, never mind further afield. This team, which participates in what is a niche interest sport in the UK, does not appear to be one of the very small number of exceptions to the rule. A quick search on google returns little beyond sites directly related to the team and its rivals. The article is also unreferenced. Given the lack of sources that are reliable and independent it is unlikely that the article could be referenced. Pit-yacker (talk) 17:50, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. Fails WP:GNG: like all the other British university American football teams that have been nominated and deleted recently, this team does not appear to be one of those rare exceptions to the general rule that British university sports teams are not notable.

 * Delete - It's very rare for a Uni sports team in Britain to be known *within* their campus, never mind off it. This isn't one of them. DitzyNizzy (aka Jess) &#124; (talk to me) &#124; (What I've done)  15:37, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete as above. Also falls foul of WP:PUFF and WP:COI. Eliteimp (talk) 16:16, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete as non notable, as are 99.9% of UK university sports teams. Nuttah (talk) 21:16, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
