Winchmore Hill Football Club

I believe the article should be deleted because it cannot be shown to meet the WP:GNG. No reliable and independent sources are provided in the article and a Google search, while yielding many results, does not turn out any reliable third-part sources either. The article also does not meet the notability guidelines at WP:FOOTYN. According to these, a club is notable if 1) it has played at step 6 of the National League System or 2) in any of FA Cup, FA Trophy, FA Amateur Cup or FA Vase. I've had a look at comparable clubs in the same league. Polytechnic F.C., for example, has a Wikipedia article, but they are clearly notable for having played in the FA Cup of 1884–5. If no such accomplishment can be shown for Winchmore Hill, it should not be included on Wikipedia. Modussiccandi (talk) 10:15, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep I'm sorry, I made an honest mistake in assuming they had no FA Vase appearances. I'm happy to withdraw the nomination if all of you come around to keep. Modussiccandi (talk) 23:35, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete - no evidence of notability. GiantSnowman 10:51, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep per below, appears to be notable. Article needs moving to Winchmore Hill F.C. in-line with standard naming conventions. GiantSnowman 21:12, 15 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete fails the generally accepted criteria for English clubs (played at step 6 or in the FA Cup/Trophy/Vase). Number   5  7  12:07, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Also, this seems to be part of a set of non-notable articles (Winchmore Hill Sports Club and Winchmore Hill Cricket Club) that should all be deleted. Number   5  7  12:09, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep per FA Vase appearances (three in total). Thanks to Govvy for highlighting this (I took the nom's claim re no FA Vase appearances in good faith). Should also probably ping GiantSnowman and Spiderone for reconsideration. Number   5  7  22:54, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - doesn't meet the notability requirements for a football club Spiderone  14:41, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Due to Govvy now keep Spiderone  07:36, 13 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Comment A couple of things, this is an FA registered club, registered to the Kent FA pyramid,, they have played in the FA Vase, , as far as I am aware they haven't made it above level 12 in the pyramid. On a side note, I've played against them and my cousin has played for them!! heh. Cheers. Govvy (talk) 22:44, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Ping P.S They have played FA Vase, you might want to check that part :) Govvy (talk) 22:47, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep - looks notable to me reading FCHD. Nfitz (talk) 01:43, 13 September 2020 (UTC)
