Sunday league football club with no assertion of notability per WP:CLUB or WP:GNG. Can't find coverage of them online from WP:Reliable sources, apart from a few mentions in the local press, and no indication that they're notable nationally. Proposed deletion contested by article's creator. Filing Flunky ( talk) 11:52, 6 December 2011 (UTC) reply
Organizations are usually notable if they meet both of the following standards:
1. The scope of their activities is national or international in scale.
2. Information about the organization and its activities can be verified by multiple,[1] third-party, independent, reliable sources.
Additional considerations are:
* Nationally famous local organizations: Some organizations are local in scope, but have achieved national or even international notice. Organizations whose activities are local in scope (e.g., a school or club) can be considered be notable if there is substantial verifiable evidence of coverage by reliable independent sources outside the organization's local area. Where coverage is only local in scope, consider adding a section on the organization to an article on the organization's local area instead.
* Factors that have attracted widespread attention: The organization’s longevity, size of membership, major achievements, prominent scandals, or other factors specific to the organization should be considered to the extent that these factors have been reported by independent sources. This list is not exhaustive and not conclusive.
I'm arguing that you are penalising Attlebrorough but not penalising similar organisations in similar situations. Your argument was that we hadn't played at a high enough level to be worthy of an article on wikipedia. I have provided proof that we have played at the same level as other clubs that already have an article on wikipedia. Instead of being petty and considering mass deleting numerous clubs to bring everyone into line, why not take logical and glaringly obvious step and bring allow my club to be represented on here? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chrisshipley ( talk • contribs) 16:02, 6 December 2011 (UTC) reply
Thanks Chris, at least it seems you have a form of structure for your reasoning. However, I must add that Midland Combination clubs often feature in FA competitions. Also does the eligibility to post an article depend on league status alone? If a team got relegated and were no longer eligible for FA competitions would you mark their page for deletion? Also the clubs are not one and the same, Potters were formed to replace the void left by Village. Similar to when AFC Telford replaced Telford United and Nuneaton Town replaced Nuneaton Borough.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Chrisshipley ( talk • contribs) 16:21, 6 December 2011 (UTC) reply
So what exactly do you need from me to get this article online? The club effects the region far more than many local clubs. How can that be proven? If I show articles in local news you guys will play the "national" card. If I show a NOTW article, it's not frequent enough. What you are asking me to prove seems unlikely to be found online. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chrisshipley ( talk • contribs) 16:54, 6 December 2011 (UTC) reply
