Colne JFC[edit]

Article originally PRODded with the rationale:

“

Club formed less than a month ago, has never played a match, and will commence the new season in a regional league approximately seven levels below the 10th level of the English football league system, which is generally considered to be the cut-off point for notability. Also no sources which would satisfy WP:N - zero hits on Google for "Colne JFC", nothing for "Colne FC Juniors" other than reports of under-9/under-10 matches.

”

This message was then posted on the talk page, which I'm going to count as the PROD being contested (hence bringing it to AfD):

“

They haven't played a match as the season hasn't started yet. And the league they are in, which has been going for 103 years, has it's own article on Wikpedia, so there's no reason why the team's should not be able to have their own articles. There will obviously be zero hits for the team on Google as it is a newly formed club, less than a month old. Once the season commences in August I'm sure the team will have a few hits on Google. Also the under 9/10 teams are part of the youth set-up of this team, so you can argue that those hits on Google count for this team.
