I don't know if there is a clearcut answer for these kinds of village-level clubs when balancing "quality/merit" of the article subject against potential coverage is village newspapers, but the main print source that is used in this article and other village football clubs is the self-published book by Peter Lines. Otherwise there are a few score results to village newspapers. This is the local football club in a village (Hamley Bridge) of 700 people, which plays against the nearby villages. According to the Australian census, males between 15-35 are 12% of the population, so this estimates to around 80 prime-aged people who could realistically play in this team. We would never consider having articles for random high school sports teams (sporting merit would not be high enough), when most high schools have 1000 or so prime-aged students. Should we have articles on the village sports team just because there are weekly results in the village newspaper? I don't think we should Bumbubookworm (talk) 23:03, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
