South Liverpool F.C.
Fails WP:CORP, at 12th position, notability for English football clubs is 10th position. Club is also not even in existence anymore. └ O z L a w y e r  / talk  ┐ 13:46, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. NawlinWiki 14:04, 23 August 2006 (UTC) Keep per discussion below, particularly Chris's argument. NawlinWiki 14:49, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand because of their history, which included winning the Welsh Cup. Keresaspa 14:27, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - they played for a number of years in the Northern Premier League, which is a level 7 league (and in fact would have been even higher than that at the time they played in it as the Conference North had not been formed). I believe that clubs should be allowed to retain their articles if they have played at a level higher than 11 but then dropped below that level - if Manchester United were to drop to level 11 through some extremely unlikely sequence of events, they wouldn't cease to be notable.  Also, if a club was notable in "life", I don't feel they cease to become notable if they subsequently fold. ChrisTheDude 14:34, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Well, of course that should be the case, but the article didn't make it terribly clear, however, that it had been a 7th-level team, and it was unfortunately swept up in my attempt to clean up the football cruft. └ O z L a w y e r  / talk  ┐ 15:26, 23 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep - winning the Welsh Cup makes them notable enough IMHO. Qwghlm 14:41, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Whoa there! Where did this "10th position" criterion come from?  WikiProject Football/Notability makes no mention of any such criterion. Uncle G 14:46, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
 * 10th level (i.e. in the English league structure), not 10th position. It is a consensus among the community contributing to football articles that clubs above that level are inherantly notable. Clubs below that level have to have added reasons for notability (e.g. history, as I would argue is the case re South Liverpool F.C.) (see many many other afd discussions).

 * The level 10 criterion is one that hasn't exactly been carved in stone yet; also, all it means is that clubs above that level are inherently notable - it does not mean that all clubs below that level are inherently non-notable. — sjorford++ 17:08, 23 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep Notable past as per numerous News of the World Football Annuals. Catchpole 15:49, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Notable past and the club still exists at the second level (12 level overall) of the Liverpool County Premier League. --Balerion 16:32, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Winner of Welsh Cup, and also arguably important in their time as a direct provider of numerous first team players to Liverpool F.C. Robotforaday 18:38, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
 * This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of football (soccer) related deletions. Alias Flood 22:31, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Historical notability makes this a bona fide article -- Alias Flood 22:34, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Historically notable, they used to be one of the biggest non-league clubs in England. Needs expanding, though.--Stevefarrell 19:06, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
