Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Royal Marines A.F.C.
as per suggestion above. Realistically, this team ''is'' almost certainly going to meet  within a couple of years, and it's pointless deleting something that's sourceable, verifiable, potentially useful and will probably need to be recreated. The spirit of the "top 10 steps of the pyramid only" guideline is to stop every pub and Sunday-league team from insisting on their own article. Unless I'm reading things wrong, this particular team is the military equivalent of FCUM or AFC Wimbledon and not a dozen squaddies having a kickabout in the park; I'd go so far as to say that if an appropriate merge target can't be found, this warrants an |IAR keep.&nbsp;–&nbsp
