I can find no evidence that supports claim of 'oldest amateur football club in the world.' Club appears to be a very new amateur club. The history seems to be a hoax. Fails WP:CLUB. Paste _{Let’s have a chat.} 19:24, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete absolutely reeks of hoax, and even if true an amateur club at that level and formed last year is extremely non-notable anyway. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 21:46, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Not verified, don't believe it. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 18:40, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Definitely a hoax. Drewbug (talk) 22:56, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - It looks like they exist, but there's nothing to grant them notability or back up any of the stuff in the article. DitzyNizzy (aka Jess)|(talk to me)|(What I've done) 21:59, 19 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  Okay, so it exists, but the only claim to notability was the supposed long history of the old club. That is still unverified. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 07:21, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - nowhere near notable enough. GiantSnowman 12:42, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - most of the article is a hoax. Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 12:51, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - bar the last five sentences, which describe a completely non-notable team, everything in the article is absolute and utter rubbish. An Aboriginal player in an English football team in 1882? A football club "famously sold for a donkey and a packet of playing cards"? Yeah right. And as a former Classics student I have to say the supposed motto is the worst attempt to write in Latin I've ever seen -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 13:18, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Amused to note that the article creator's only other edits largely focus on repeatedly adding himself to the list of famous supporters at Everton F.C. supporters......... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 13:20, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment - even if the bit about the club having been formed in 1871 was true (as opposed to a great steaming pile of cow poo) that wouldn't make them the oldest amateur club in the world anyway, as Queen's Park F.C. was formed in 1867........ -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 14:52, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Speedy Delete - Either a deliberate hoax, or a massive in-joke. Either way, it's got no business being on Wikipedia. --Korruski (talk) 16:29, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• snowy delete though I'm sad to see such creative writing be deleted. if only it were referenced. Sandman888 (talk) 18:04, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak Keep Looks like they do exist. The content needs to be verified but that isn't a reason to delete. 72.58.66.148 (talk) 19:03, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merely existing is not sufficient to merit a WP article..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:45, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: Hoaxiness aside, this club plays in the 2nd division of the Warrington Sunday League, well below the commonly used cut-off point for football club notability, and there's no evidence they pass general notability guidelines. Bettia (talk) 06:38, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Non-notable amateur club. Argyle 4 Life^talk 15:47, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - amateur club with no claim to notability. Jogurney (talk) 19:55, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
