I believe the article should be deleted because it cannot be shown to meet the WP:GNG. No reliable and independent sources are provided in the article and a Google search, while yielding many results, does not turn out any reliable third-part sources either. The article also does not meet the notability guidelines at WP:FOOTYN. According to these, a club is notable if 1) it has played at step 6 of the National League System or 2) in any of FA Cup, FA Trophy, FA Amateur Cup or FA Vase. I've had a look at comparable clubs in the same league. Polytechnic F.C., for example, has a Wikipedia article, but they are clearly notable for having played in the FA Cup of 1884–5. If no such accomplishment can be shown for Winchmore Hill, it should not be included on Wikipedia. Modussiccandi (talk) 10:15, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment A couple of things, this is an FA registered club, registered to the Kent FA pyramid, [1], they have played in the FA Vase, [2], as far as I am aware they haven't made it above level 12 in the pyramid. On a side note, I've played against them and my cousin has played for them!! heh. Cheers. Govvy (talk) 22:44, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
