 * Delete. Fails WP:CLUB and, as individuals, WP:ATHLETE. No references to establish notability Amateur local clubs are generally not considered notable. WWGB (talk) 10:28, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment There is plenty of information to identify the subject. The club is an Australian rules football club competing in the Darwin Football Association, a competition based in Tasmania. That is all directly from the article text. Some common sense, leads one to determine that the team itself is based in Yolla, Tasmania where I bet it is the biggest community organisation in the town. As for being inaccurate, I am not sure how anyone can tell, given that no sources have been provided. The article needs cleaning up but could be saved. I would be pretty confident that sources could be found if one was willing to look with the Burnie Advocate being a good place to start. Not sure how WP:ATHLETE applies, the article is about an organisation, not an individual. -- Mattinbgn\talk 10:41, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. From WP:ATHLETE: "Athletes [note plural] ... People [note plural] who have competed at the fully professional level of a sport". Doesn't sound like this mob! WWGB (talk) 11:29, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge to Darwin Football Association - I can't see how it would be inaccurate given it is a stub. Orderinchaos 15:52, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete doesn't have sufficient references to meet WP:ORG and I don't see any reason to assume that more are available for a non-professional regional sports team. I don't see why the league it plays in is notable either. Nick-D (talk) 21:40, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
