Castle Football

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

British University sports club, no indication of any form of notability, not clear what level they play at. whole page is un-sourced. No coverage of the club outside it's own facebook page, does not appear to have own website with which to confirm any of the details.

Delete - other than the occasional exception involving Oxford and Cambridge, sports club at British universities are pretty much non-notable even on their own campuses, and totally non-notable in the wider world. I work at a university and it's unusual for anyone at all other than the players' friends and partners to bother going along to a sports match or in fact to even know one's taking place. Unlike in the USA, sports clubs at UK universities are essentially social clubs little different from the chess club or the rock music society....... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:20, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge - deserves a mention on the college's page, but nothing more. Giant Snowman 19:34, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge. Per GiantSnowman. Argyle 4 Life^talk 20:04, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment presumably the merge suggested above would consist solely of adding "the college has a football club" or similar? Presumably we don't need to add such wonderfully encyclopedic content as "Other highlights for Castle AFC in 2010 included the social to Newcastle in February, where we were joined by social members How, Finnegan and Tom ‘Jersey Boy’ Miller, as well as the lovely ladies of Castle WAFC. Duy Anh impressed the local ‘talent’ with his dance moves, whilst they did their utmost to avoid those thrown by MP Horrocks. Meanwhile Chief Snitch Ian Stewart was taken to hospital following an altercation between his head and a moving vehicle. Unconfirmed reports suggested that the vehicle came off worse. Given the Club Captain’s disposition for a good burger, it was perhaps unsurprising that the night ended in McDonald’s." to the main college article......? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:32, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to something along the lines of Chris's suggestion. This should be about one line in the parent article. It doesn't have enough coverage to be anything more than that. Alzarian16 (talk) 14:17, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Mention of the club at University College, Durham would be adequate. Uncle Dick (talk) 19:00, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
