Deletion of Parley Sports F.C.

Comment: My local town paper used to write up reviews of the local Pop Warner Little Scholars|Pop Warner American football|football (for non americans; its a youth-level American football league)  It doesn't make them notable and worthy of an encyclopedia article.  If my church's softball team gets a newspaper article, can I write a WikiPedia entry for them?  NO.  |Verfiablility is a necessary but not sufficient cause for keeping an article.  Also needed is a proof of |Notability.  This team does not seem to rate as notable, since they play at level 15... When they get promoted to a top-10 level team, then they will be worthy

Comment: Actually, the google evidence works AGAINST your arguement.  In order to be valid subject matter for a Wikipedia article, then the subject needs to have notability outside of Wikipedia.  Wikipedia is NOT a means to gain notability; it only documents subjects that have notability verified by reliable third party sources.  If a WikiPedia article turns up as the first hit on Google, it is usually a red flag that the WikiPedia article (and NOT an outside source as required by the WikiPedia policy against |original research) is the only major place to find this information.  As such, it should be deleted.  If you have evidence to the contrary, then IMPROVE THE ARTICLE.  |Calling experienced editors names or complaining that the club should be kept without providing hard facts will not work in your favor.  Also, proof of existance is NOT proof of notability.  The fact that a single local newspaper wrote about them does not mean that anyone outside of the immediate area has even heard of this club.  If they have, then PROVIDE REFERENCES to show that the club is widely known and regarded outside of the immediate Bournmouth/Dorset area.  If there is no such evidence, the article is not notable.  Even if they were the best level-15 club, that makes them like the 500th best club in England.  Again, my Church softball team is pretty good.  But it's not the New York Yankees or even the Toledo Mud Hens

Comment: This is in response to the writings of LUIGI909 and 86.29.94.218(anon) above.  NO ONE doubts that this football club exists.  NO ONE is denying it, or other facts, such as where they play, what league they are in, what their history is, etc. etc.  The question is whether such facts warrant that the club is notable.  Word of mouth contacts with people involved in the organization, or with local newspapers, or anything else, does NOT establish notability.  Please read |WIkipedia's guidelines on notability BEFORE you comment on this article.  The primary notability criterion is: Does this subject receive 1)'''significant coverage''' in 2) '''several''' 3) '''non-trivial sources''' as 4) '''a primary focus''' of the writing.  So far, this subject fails on all grounds. We have no evidence of coverage beyond a single newspaper, and no evidence that the coverage is more than scores and results of games.  Passing mention in a sports section does not qualify.  Do we have articles that review their performance?  Have books been written on their history?  Are they the subject of ANY critical analysis?  If they are, then PROVIDE THE SOURCES.  Simply saying "I think the local paper wrote an article on them a few years ago" isn't good enough.  Provide book titles and authors, website URLs, newspaper dates and by-lines; give us something to work with.  If the ONLY way we can get more information about the subject is to call someone, then they aren't notable

Comment: per nominator. As said, unless someone can provide sources for this club being notable in any other way, it fails . &ndash
