Would have prodded, but it's been deleted twice before, most likely through prods. Local sports group, no indication of notability. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 13:21, 21 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - previously deleted as speedy (A3 and then A7). Giant Snowman 11:32, 22 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep All of the other teams in the Mens AND womans divisons 1 and 2 have pages. This one does need to be improved but not deleted. Idan (talk) 11:34, 22 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Perhaps the articles for the teams, at least those in division 2, should also be deleted. They all seem to be not notable. --Bduke (talk) 11:46, 22 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. It is a club in Division 2 of the Mens in the Essendon and Districts Football League. In a new housing development estate, this club has been operating for seven years. It needs some time. If you delete this, are you going to delete all the other clubs in this Division 2 of this football league? Which club will you also delete? Huh? Which club from Burnside Heights, Coburg Districts, Hadfield, Jacana, Keilor Park, Moonee Valley, Northern Saints, Oak Park? Get real. Give them some time. -- Whiteguru (talk) 11:04, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Could you please link the clubs that do have articles, so we can easily look at them? --Bduke (talk) 11:21, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please see Template:EDFL under Division 2. Geschichte (talk) 20:12, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Most of the other teams are flagged for needing references and those that are not should be. I am happy to give time for editors who know about football to improve all of these articles, but if they are not improved, all of them should then be deleted. --Bduke (talk) 00:58, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It really surprises me that some editors want to remove pages just to free up memory space. Purrum (talk) 11:38, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nobody is saying that. The question we have to address is "Is this article notable" using the Wikipedia definition of notable. --Bduke (talk) 21:48, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nobody is saying that but its the point of the exercise, yes its a young club in an developing suburb and it may take a few years before a child goes through the ranks to play for a AFL club. It may take a few years before the club becomes successful and get promoted. And then the page will have to be recreated again for the fourth time.Purrum (talk) 01:22, 28 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Jackmcbarn (talk) 23:07, 29 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. No indication of notability. Guess the other division 2 articles should be looked at also. Doctorhawkes (talk) 21:21, 1 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, The article has nothing to support WP:GNG. Alex-h (talk) 12:05, 3 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - ultimately, if there is no potential for this article to pass WP:GNG, it should be deleted. The existence of articles for other clubs in the same league is not a valid reason for keeping this article. Spiderone 18:26, 6 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
