Shevington Sharks

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Contested prod. Amateur rugby team with a fairly short history. Nothing beyond routine coverage. One source simply states that one of their junior coaches died. I really don't see these local amateur clubs being suitable for encyclopedia articles. Michig (talk) 13:53, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete: Article doesn't establish notability. Mattlore (talk) 20:14, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment: The article probably doesn't meet GNG (though there many other sporting clubs of similar notability on Wikipedia). The club is within the scope of Rugby League Wiki so I'll preserve a copy there in case the outcome here is deletion. LunarLander (talk) 18:36, 24 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep. I don't regard thirty-three years as a short history. The death of Molyneux wasn't simply an everyday incident of death by illness or accident or similar; it was extremely widely reported. I was able to find the three reliable sources currently in the article after only a perfunctory search; I'm sure there's more out there to be found. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 00:11, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
 * The death of Molyneux does not make this club notable, read WP:INHERIT. Lukeno94 (talk) 09:00, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete no evidence to suggest this team are notable; one reference in the article is about the U11 side (which is not Wiki relevant), another fails WP:INHERIT, and so does the third - about a player so notable he doesn't have an article of his own. Age of a club does not make a club notable either. Article, at present, fails WP:ORG and WP:GNG. Lukeno94 (talk) 09:00, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
