Waterbeach F.C.

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The club has not played at a high enough level in the English football league system, and has not competed in the FA Cup or FA Vase. There seems to be some confusion between the Eastern Counties League and an Eastern Cambridge League that the club played in until the 1960s. Also, the history is a copyvio of the club website. Article was mainly edited by a user with WP:COI. Recent PROD was removed with no reason given. Del_♉sion23 (talk) 13:35, 7 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - non-notable club. Giant Snowman 16:51, 7 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - With reference to the Club Notability Test user essay WP:NTEST we get this result:

Q1. Has the club played in a national cup (listed in the Blue Column)? NO

Q2. Has the club played in a notable league (listed in the Yellow Column)? NO

Q3. Has the club played in a league at the next highest level (listed in the Grey Column)? NO

Q4. Is there substantial identifiable media coverage (excluding match reports) about the club in reliable independent sources? NO

Q5. Has the club played in the past in a competition of comparable status to one listed in the Blue or Yellow Columns? NO

The club therefore fails the test and should be deleted. It should be noted that the Cambridgeshire Eastern Counties League is not the Eastern Counties Football League. League Octopus (League Octopus 18:18, 7 November 2012 (UTC))[reply]

Delete - not played at a notable level, or receives significant coverage in reliable sources. Mentoz86 (talk) 18:57, 7 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - definitely never played at a level deemed sufficiently notable. Claims to have played in the Eastern Counties League Divisions 4, 3, etc, are either fake or a mistake and should actually refer to another (almost certainly very minor) league, as the ECL did not even have Divisions 4, 3, etc in the 50s -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 21:01, 7 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete club does not meet criteria for notability as they haven't played in a high enough level. --Odie5533 (talk) 14:18, 14 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
