Keep - 3rd party sources added to article explaining notability, ie. largest club in Australia/connection with professional A-League club Central Coast Mariners FC.--2nyte (talk) 00:55, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The citations included are not about the club, just mention them in passing, like them getting artificial grass... JMHamo (talk) 00:58, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to NSW State League Division 1; no evidence of notability but possible search term. Giant Snowman 12:42, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to NSW State League Division 1; no evidence of notability but possible search term. Club plays at the third level within their state. Far too low to warrant an individual article, connections to A-League clubs would be better mentioned in the A-League articles rather than here and do not in themselves justify an article. Fenix down (talk) 13:23, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Clubs in NSW are far more notable than clubs in other states of Australia. The list of fully pro leagues refers to notability of footballers, not football clubs themselves. The threshold for keeping club articles is a lot lower than individual players. Due to Australia's unique football set-up, if we were to delete all Australian semi-pro club pages within this gray area, we'd be left with very little information about Australian football. - J man708 (talk) 19:24, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Satisfies WP:FOOTYN, and as mentioned above, notable for its links with the Mariners and size as Australia's largest football club. Macosal (talk) 01:16, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - WP:FOOTYN is an essay and notibility is not inherited... JMHamo (talk) 01:37, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Sure but it is widely cited and used in order to avoid what would otherwise be a large number of borderline cases. In any case, I would suggest that the article does satisfy WP:GNG for the two reasons I mentioned, amongst others. Macosal (talk) 03:12, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Prove that GNG is meet, because at the moment I can't see how it is... JMHamo (talk) 03:17, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - meets WP:FOOTYN because the club has played in national cup competition - most recently the 2014 preliminary rounds of the Football Federation Australia Cup. Nfitz (talk) 17:09, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, fails WP:GNG, hasn't been the subject of significant coverage in reliable sources. WP:FOOTYN should've been deleted years ago as it doesn't reflect any current consensus of WP:FOOTBALL. Hack (talk) 05:10, 10 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Passes WP:FOOTYN and WP:GNG and also per this and this.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 12:48, 13 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - meets WP:FOOTYN as they play in the national cup competition. FFA Cup. Umarghdunno (talk) 22:55, 13 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
