Football club that fails the generally accepted notability critieria of playing in the FA Cup/Trophy/Vase or at step 6 or above. Examples of past AfDs on clubs in the same situation include this or this. Can provide numerous other examples if required. Number 5 7 11:50, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
- Linking to two other examples where you yourself have asserted that a very specific notability criteria is generally accepted is not really evidence that it is generally accepted... is there actually a community accepted SNG that's relevant here?

- If you can tell me where I've even commented on the first example, it would be appreciated. But anyway, the community has long been in agreement that the aforementioned criteria is the cut-off point, and as I said, numerous other examples from AfD can be provided to back this up: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 , 7, 8, 9, 10, and there are far more than these (note, if you are unfamiliar with the English football league system, step 6 = level 10). I suspect an SNG has never been created because it's such a specific topic that it would be silly to have a guideline just for this, particularly as consensus at AfD is obvious and very few of these articles are created anymore.

- Delete - requirement for clubs to have played in the top 10 levels of English football is longstanding and accepted as consensus, as links above show. This club does not fulfill that requirement -- ChrisTheDude ( talk) 07:17, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
