Non-notable soccer club. Speedy declined "asserts notability", but I'm not sure why. No references but Facebook and the web-site of the league in which they play, for which see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Maple Leaf Soccer Club. JohnCD (talk) 19:02, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • It may be all true but that is not enough. In order to have an article in Wikipedia a subject must be of enough general interest for an encyclopedia article. The Wikipedia term for that is notable, and the standard required is explained at Notability and Notability (organizations and companies). Articles must also be verifiable from independent reliable sources. What that means is that, unless other people independent of your club have found it interesting enough to write about, it doesn't qualify for an article. Sorry, but Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a place to list every club and company and organisation in the world, JohnCD (talk) 19:22, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry sir but there is no way to explain your logic other than complete BULLSHIT. When i click on random article and see nonsense articles that are no longer than a single page, how is it that they can be allowed? They talk about things/people that have no interest to anyone.....such as.....Fredrick M. Lord, Craig Leipold, and Jon Ola Norbom...those are just 3 consecutive articles that came up when i clicked random article and proved my point. The beauty of wikipedia is that articles about everything are found. It is not right for you to delete this article, which is of a legitimate soccer club in a legitimate league. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hussizle (talkcontribs) 19:34, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: No, it is of an amateur bunch of guys in the Monday night rec league, which fails the above listed criteria and would fail that of individuals at WP:ATHLETE, which holds that only "fully professional" athletes or amateurs at the "highest level of amateur play" are notable. By contrast, Craig Leipold is a multimillionaire who is the owner of a NHL franchise, Frederick W. Lord was a United States Congressman, and Jon Ola Norbom was a Norwegian cabinet minister. Contrary to popular notion, Wikipedia is not, in fact, for "articles about everything." I strongly recommend you and your friends review the links above, as well as WP:PILLAR, so you have a better idea as to our criteria for inclusion.  RGTraynor  20:28, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: non-professional recreational league. This having an entry is one step below my cat having one. Bigdaddy1981 (talk) 21:08, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
