• Delete Doesn't meet the generally accepted criteria for English football clubs (see here for an AfD on a club that did meet the criteria). Number 57 17:45, 22 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Very weak keep - Although the club hasn't played in any league of any note, they are covered by local media. I am on the borderline because of the lack of independent sources (in the article, not out in the world). But, I think that the information is reliable enough that the article should be kept.

• Keep - they were certainly at Level 10 (Step 6) or equivalent from 1964-72 and from 1985-90. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2a00:23c5:5263:1f00:9022:db08:13f3:b7 (talk • contribs)
  • The whole pyramid was a step higher in the 1980s (as the Conference North/South hadn't been created), so I'm not convinced we would consider level 10/step 6 notable during that period. Number 57 10:29, 24 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - fails WP:FOOTYN, no indication the club has played in a national competition, no indication of any other achievements garnering sufficient significant, independent coverage to satisfy GNG. SOurces available seem to be either primary, routine match reporting, or very (i.e. town-level) local media coverage, the sort that almost all local teams get to some degree.
