 * Delete Fails WP:GNG and/or WP:CLUB. Mt  king  (edits)  11:47, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Neutral Because of a lack of argument above, I fail to see how the WP:CRIN notability guidelines have been applied here to arrive at non-notability. There are only specified criteria for Great Britian and Australia, plus a statement "It is necessary to take an individual view about each country in terms of its own grassroots structure". How has that been done in this case? Since Sigtuna CC as far as I can tell plays in the highest Swedish division, does that mean that the nominator interprets WP:CRIN to mean that no Swedish cricket teams can be notable?

 * Comment - There's not enough reliable coverage in secondary sources to cover notability. It's similar to Irish club teams which led to WP:CRIN being amended, with many being found to be non-notable (little independent coverage, didn't play in the respective Irish cricket unions top division ect).  There's plenty of cricket clubs in Ireland, while this club may play in a top national division, that isn't a particularly notable feat in a country where according to an article only 16 cricket clubs exist.  Club sides have always required significant coverage, unfortunately this one falls well short.  A full breakdown of the debate regarding the notability of Irish cricket clubs and the decisions reached about notability can be found here. AssociateAffiliate (talk) 13:25, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Swedish Cricket Federation where a short mention (in a currently non-existent list of clubs?) would, I feel, be appropriate. PWilkinson (talk) 18:04, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Maybe Cricket in Sweden or something like that would be a good idea. /Julle (talk) 13:14, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Weak keep per single source that provides enough to establish that the club exists. I think it is enough for not to justify inclusion.--BabbaQ (talk) 10:41, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Wow, you really have no intention to improve your incredibly flimsy !voting, do you?--Yaksar (let's chat) 05:26, 26 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment The link on the article simply links to a page where it and other Swedish cricket clubs are listed, this does not indicate how the club is notable, nor does it provide enough coverage to imply notability. AssociateAffiliate (talk) 22:06, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
