I'm having difficulty seeing how this orphaned article about a field hockey club meets Notability (sports) and I can't find enough reliable third party sources to show it meets GNG &mdash; Rod talk 19:50, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

 * Comment -- I suspect that this was an amateur club at the time when it was in the Premier League. That puts it in the top league of its sport.  I suspect that we would have allowed club articles in the period when Rugby Union was an amateur sport; so why not hockey?  Peterkingiron (talk) 16:08, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm not quite sure what you mean by Premier League. Although I'm having problems finding sources to give clarity it appears to have been in West Hockey Association (field hockey) from which winners can progress into the England Hockey League. It seems they are currently in the 2nd tier (Championship) of the local division.&mdash; Rod talk 16:47, 20 December 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete - From what I can tell online, club appears to be of amateur status and is not a member of the England Hockey League. The Notability for sports guidelines do not cover teams, and in reviewing the Non-commercial organizations guidelines, it appears as though this club is only of local significance for Bristol. As a comment, I find it telling that neither this club nor the sport of field hockey is listed on a page detailing Sport in Bristol or on the Template:Sport in Bristol.

 * Delete. I voted last week but my comment isn't here, probably sent from my phone with poor internet connection. NN. Szzuk (talk) 23:19, 29 December 2015 (UTC)
