Another of the UK university AFL teams. As in previous debates, university sport in the UK gets no independent coverage with a couple of exceptions. For minority sports such as AFL, this is even more so, Coverage available does not meet requirements of 'WP:GNG Nuttah (talk) 21:18, 16 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete as non-notable. It's rare that a British university sports team meets our notability guidelines, and this does not seem to be one of those exceptional cases. Pfainuk talk 21:32, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete: As per other AfDs, university sports teams in the UK are rarely notable even within their own institution. The handful of exceptions are confined to soccer, cricket, rugby and rowing.  American Football itself is an extremely niche interest subject in the UK, and this team definitely doesn't appear to be an exception to the rule.  A quick Google returns little beyond sites related to the team itself and its rivals.   The article is completely unreferenced and given the lack of citable material on the team, there is little prospect of being able to reference it.Pit-yacker (talk) 21:37, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
