Southampton Stags

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Not notable. University sports teams in the UK are rarely notable even within their own institution. This is not an exception. American Football in the UK is of niche interest. Article is unreferenced. Probably, partly because a search for references returns nothing other than websites directly linked to the team or its rivals (oh and piles of sites advertising Stag nights in Southampton.

 * Delete - as per nom and as per other British university American football teams, this one does not appear to be an exception to the rule that British university sports teams are not generally notable. Pfainuk talk 10:58, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete I see no reason to make an exception for this subject at this time. Perhaps in the future should more independent sources arise, this would be a better candidate.  Try another Wiki.--Paul McDonald (talk) 12:27, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - With a few exceptions, British uni sports teams are non-notable. This isn't one of those. (And as an aside, my friend Olivia has been going to Lancaster Uni since October and she didn't know until Thursday that they had an American football team.)
