Yatton Rugby Club

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable village rugby team. Fails the general notability criteria for organisations, and specifically WikiProject_Rugby_union/Notability. Bob Re-born (talk) 12:36, 22 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep- This article is notable and should not be deleted as the team is in a league that has a page on Wikipedia and has a | Reference and a reference that is not list yet. (Andwhy1 (talk) 12:43, 22 December 2012 (UTC))
 * The league does NOT have a Wikipedia page and the articles single reference makes no mention of a rugby club?Theroadislong (talk) 18:36, 27 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete- Appears to fail notability for Rugby teams, which is a key standard for rugby clubs. Just because a league is notable, and a team inside the league exists, it does not mean the team itself is notable (✉→BWilkins←✎) 13:00, 22 December 2012 (UTC)


 * If the club was indeed founded almost 50 years ago, then it certainly wont be disappearing in the near future. Its unfortunate that the original editor did not provide more independent sources to expand on the history section, but nevertheless...Weak keep -RoseL2P (talk) 13:40, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm afraid that "it certainly wont be disappearing in the near future" is not evidence of notability. My parents lived in a house that has existed for several centuries, and probably won't be going away in the near future. However, it is just an old farm house, of no notability, and we don't have an article about it, nor should we. JamesBWatson (talk) 13:56, 27 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete- Amateur village clubs like this are not encyclopedic. Appears to fail the relevant notability guideline by a long way. --Michig (talk) 15:36, 22 December 2012 (UTC)


 * The club is not amateur it plays in a league that climb up to the top and could be a bigger than Bristol. • Andwhy1 (talk) 16:11, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Are you claiming that the Tribute South West 2 West League, a league that appears to be outside the top ten tiers of English Rugby Union, is a professional league? --Michig (talk) 18:47, 22 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete- It has not been the subject of multiple published, non-trivial, secondary sources which are reliable, intellectually independent and independent of the subject.Theroadislong (talk) 16:02, 22 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete - no WP:reliable sources - the only reference given is to a freeweb site and does not even mention the club. The league is not a fully professional league by some margin. Remove the empty sections and all that is left is a statement it exists. noq (talk) 11:37, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - Similar to this AfD there are slim-pickings out there on the internet so again unless there's a book that someone has, I'm thinking this isn't notable. Go   Phightins  !  15:13, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
