Ok, is there a point at which such clubs become irrelevant for inclusion? There are plenty of sides at Marlborough Town's level and below on Wikipedia which have pages and are not removed. Who decides which ones stay and which removed? A poor level playing field IMHO Adam.king11 15:01, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

Here is the general notability criteria for football: Wikipedia:WikiProject_Football/Notability. The way this applies to English football generally means that a team gets an article if it can be shown that they have played at level 10/step 6 (or higher) as this is the first level at which a team can play in the FA Cup. There is an ongoing discussion about whether teams which have played in the FA Vase can have articles which means that often teams will have an article if they have played in the Vase but not at level 10 (or higher). If you have any Wikipedia football related questions the best place to get an answer is at this page: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football. I've added some stuff to the Black Country Rangers page too. Hope it helps :) Delusion23 (talk) 14:40, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

Rushden & Diamonds

Hi, I've replied to your comment on my talk space. Delusion23 (talk) 08:39, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

Your sig

I replied to your question on the R&D F.C. talk page. Your signature doesn't seem to link to either your user page and talk page, which is a bit troublesome for other editors (and I think it might be against WP guidelines!). Basically, it's frowned upon. Thanks! —Half Price 22:24, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

Thanks - guess we'll find out tomorrow what happens to R&D. Sorry about the signature thing, I do try and remember to use the Four Tides - I have asked Wikipedia about it but no reply as of yet. Adam.king11 20:48, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Nomination of Theale F.C. for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Theale F.C. is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Theale F.C. until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. BigDom 08:16, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

That's fine - there's not much information out there about Theale F.C. anyway other than they won the F.A. Sunday Cup. Won't contest its deletion. Adam.king11 20:46, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
