Contested PROD. Fails notability criteria. Walter Görlitz (talk) 05:02, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. Equally notable as other teams in its division. Radagast (talk) 23:42, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
 * They are not notable. There are no sources and I could find none. You must prove that they are notable, not simply pronounce it. Walter Görlitz (talk)

 * Keep - There is no indication that the subject or consensus on club notability has changed significantly since the last afd. Sir Sputnik (talk) 03:52, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
 * The criteria for inclusion has. WP:GNG and others. Please provide sources. Walter Görlitz (talk) 04:11, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - playing in the 4th tier of US soccer is notable. GiantSnowman 09:03, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Fourth tier in England is notable. It's not in the US. Second tier barely achieves recognition in the US. Even if it were, this team is not. Please proved RSes that this team is notable. Finally, this team plays in Canada. Walter Görlitz (talk) 16:55, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep- this nomination makes no sense. This is the first level of soccer in North America that isn't fully professional. Players at this level are arguably shouldn't have articles.  But teams? The last AFD was pretty clear. Nfitz (talk) 20:05, 30 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Closing admin: Please note that the arguments in favour of keeping do not use any guidelines or polices. The team does not have any reliable sources. being a member of a notable league does not make the team any more notable than being a non-notable band on a notable record label. Walter Görlitz (talk) 04:56, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - The applicable notability standard for sports teams (and all other organizations) are WP:ORG and WP:GNG, which this subject easily satisfies with significant coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources in the western Canadian media. Here's a sample: ; there are so many articles from the Canadian media, I'm not even going to bother linking individual examples.  Anyone interested can feel free to sort through the Google results.
