A bloated unsourced fanpage for an amateur football (soccer) team for a tiny town in West Wales. The highest it has reached in the Welsh Football League is Division 2. The "History" section is also entirely a copypaste from http://www.ammanfordtownafc.co.uk/pages/page_9659/History.aspx so if anyone needs to find information about this club, they can refer to its website. Fails WP:NCORP. Sionk ( talk) 13:46, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

- Keep - subject appears notable as has played in national competition, and from the article appears to have spent several seasons in the top flight of welsh football. Agree there are WP:CRUFT and WP:COPYVIO issues on this page, but don't agree the response is to delete. Club also appears to have competed previously in the national cup competition. I am not aware of any precedent whereby clubs that have competed in national competitions (and at the stage where they are fully national rather than regional rounds) are not deemed notable regardless of their country of origin. Needs a major overhaul, but not deleting unless the claims contained within the article are untrue. Fenix down ( talk) 16:15, 18 November 2014 (UTC)
- Keep. Welsh Cup quarter-finalists in two separate season; meets the (informal) criteria at
WP:NTEST. Not too concerned that the article is a mess, it's pretty easy to
fix.

- Thanks. I didn't know about WP:NTEST but I for one am willing to accept that as a reasonable rule-of-thumb. I notice Ammanford has been Welsh Cup QF's at least once and claim to have played in the top flight of Welsh football at least once (though it's not clear whether that was 1959 or 1989). I'm wiling to withdraw my nom on the basis of the Welsh Cup performance, and look instead to clean up the article (copyvio etc.) Sionk ( talk) 17:28, 18 November 2014 (UTC)
- Keep - appears to be notable. Article needs improving, not deleting. Giant Snowman 22:25, 18 November 2014 (UTC)
- NOTE: Sionk has withdrawn the nomination now, so anyone passing can close this discussion. I'd do it myself but I've !voted so it's bad form. Dylanfromthenorth ( talk) 22:27, 18 November 2014 (UTC)
