Amateur clubs are generally not considered notable under the notability guidelines. Please see: Wikipedia:WikiProject_Football/Notability and WP:ORG. WP:Prod removed by author, citing that other teams have pages that are similar/worse Cocytus [»talk«] 15:00, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I can't find anything to give this team notability. And to the author: just because a team's a part-time one doesn't mean that they're not non-notable. Otherwise teams like Histon F.C. or Queen's Park F.C. - both of whom are part-timers - wouldn't be notable. DitzyNizzy (aka Jess)|(talk to me)|(What I've done) 16:28, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I should have phrased it better. I meant that they hadn't really reached a notable level of football, i.e. League One or League Two. Something along those lines. Best, Cocytus [»talk«] 16:49, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - general rule of the thumb at the WP:FOOTY project is that a team must have reached a level at which they are eligible to enter one of the FA's national cup competitions, which amounts to level 10 or higher of the English football league system. This club is a long long way below that level -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 21:48, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete in line with Wikipedia:WikiProject_Football/Notability. The article makes no case for notability - it would be better to mention the club in the Sport section of the Burnley article. There is a Non-League football article, but there are far too many examples to start listing any there. East Lancashire Football League is currently redlinked but could be another place to mention the team. There are 39 East Lancs league teams listed at Soccer Weekend. --Northernhenge (talk) 22:03, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
