 * Delete, vanity with some nonsense thrown in for good measure. Demiurge 13:26, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, non-notable team; article is mostly fluff and nonsense. -- (aeropagitica) [[Image:Flag_of_England.svg|25px|UK]] 17:25, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, a suburban weekend team? Vanity + rubbish. As if it has links to Michael Ballack and Ronaldinho, the capatins of Germany and Brazil respectively. They wouldn't have at least USD$30-50 million required to sign Ballack, let alone his salary, maybe USD$10 million per annum?. Blnguyen 00:38, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

An article should not be dismissed as "vanity" simply because the subject is not famous. There is currently no consensus about what degree of recognition is required to justify a unique article being created in Wikipedia. Borderline cases are frequently nominated for deletion and discussed on WP:AFD. Lack of fame is not the same as vanity. (OFFICAL WIKIPEDIA EXPLANATION)

There you have it! It is not vanity - just lack of fame!!! --
