Avon Plate F.C.

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

Non-notable amateur social/pub team. NB Sources include a book about the club, but it was written by one of the club's founders/officials and published by a self-publication press, so I think it can be disregarded as far as establishing notability goes -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 11:15, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Sunday League teams need to have specific (and sourced) claims for notability, that don't appear in the article. McMarcoP (talk) 11:54, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Avon is a non-notable amateur club. Sir Sputnik (talk) 13:15, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Non-notable Sunday league team. (Also, wouldn't they be smaller than Bristol Rovers F.C.? Or was it written by a Bristol City F.C. supporter? I know that's not a reason for deletion, but it's worth pointing out.) DitzyNizzy (aka Jess)|(talk to me)|(What I've done) 14:04, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. There is nothing here to suggest to me that this FC is notable. JBsupreme (talk) 23:07, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete – questionable and unreferenced facts and history sections, claims to be being third major club after Bristol City and Bristol Rovers are laughable, as there are several teams including Mangotsfield, Brislington and Bristol Manor Farm who compete at much higher levels in the National League System. This is a non notable Sunday league football team. Jezhotwells (talk) 13:03, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
