Looks like a non-notable local amateur soccer team. Does not appear to have played professionally or at the highest amateur level of the sport, as per WP:ATHLETE -- Boing! said Zebedee 08:54, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

WP:ATHLETE refers to individual players, not clubs. Having said that, the article was already deleted once before, per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Q.K. Southampton F.C., and nothing significant has changed in the team's circumstances since then...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 11:27, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It was the only thing I could find relating to notability of sports things, so I assumed it applied too - do you know of anything relating to teams/clubs? -- Boing! said Zebedee 11:46, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

General rule of thumb at the footy project for English clubs is that a team must have played in, or at the very least be in a league whose members are eligible to enter, the FA Cup..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:04, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Great, thanks -- Boing! said Zebedee 13:04, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - this club has never played at a high enough level. Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 13:21, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - They play too far down the English football pyramid to be considered notable. DitzyNizzy (aka Jess)|(talk to me)|(What I've done) 13:39, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The Football Club History Database confirms they (or their predecessors) haven't played in the FA Cup or at a high enough league level. Also, there's no indication they pass general notability guidelines. Bettia (talk) 14:26, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, nonnotable amateur team. NawlinWiki (talk) 16:47, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
