Sporting Barum F.C. (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

non-notable English non-league football club, several levels below the accepted criteria of Level 10 or above. fchd 13:11, 6 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nom. Perhaps all red links in leagues at levels below 10 should be removed unless they're "A", "B", "Reserve" etc teams of clubs at levels 10 and above? Budgiekiller 13:23, 6 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment There's actually no link to this page on the league's article, in fact no pages link to it at all.... ChrisTheDude 08:31, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Stay - the club is real , so it can have a place in wikipedia . I don't care if the club is small or not , just sometimes it is interesting to read about such a small teams . Football isn't only Arsenal FC or FC Barcelona , but also such a club like Sporting Barum F.C Bartekos 21:34, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Nobody is claiming that the club isn't real, but unfortunately it isn't the case that it "is real , so it can have a place in wikipedia" - after all, my son plays for a Sunday morning kids' park team which is indisputedly real but I certainly wouldn't create a Wikipedia article on them. Wikipedia has notability guidelines which have to be satisfied in order to have an article, and in the case of English football clubs the guidelines state that the club has to have played in the top ten levels of the English football league system at some point in their existence - this club has not done so. The guideline can be found here. Hope this helps ChrisTheDude 08:04, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - below the accepted level for team notability (i.e. Level 10 or above of the English football league system). Possible vanity page? Robotforaday 16:48, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
