Per the recently closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hamley Bridge Football Club, this club represents a local village with population of 500 that plays against each other villages. Given that around 12% of Australians are males between 15-35 years old, that means that these villages have around 50 prime-aged males to select for their teams, and these clubs are nowhere near notable in terms of sporting merit. The only refs are village newspapers or the books by Peter Lines on rural local football teams, which are self-published books Bumbubookworm (talk) 05:21, 20 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - @Bumbubookworm:, the consensus was to deal with these one at a time, not give you license to just run the lot of them again together. Can you please withdraw the nomination for all of these except one so proper consideration can be given to each AfD debate, and run them ONE at a time?

Speedy keep for failure to properly run this AfD. Deus et lex (talk) 10:48, 26 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: IMO, listing three similar articles in separate AfDs on one day is not so taxing to editors in the topic area (nor so overbearing on the AfD process in general) that it justifies a procedural close. More than five, maybe, but not three.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ♠PMC♠ (talk) 06:16, 28 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - @Premeditated Chaos:, at least 4 have been nominated at the same time, and on the same day that the previous AfD was closed, in direct contradiction to the consensus reached earlier. It's disruptive. Deus et lex (talk) 09:48, 28 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: per nom, notability not demonstrated. Alternative would be a merge to Adelaide Plains Football League. No need for a speedy close, correct AfD process has been followed as discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Two Wells Football Club. Nelertasta (talk) 03:28, 30 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Adelaide Plains Football League: Available sourcing fails to meet the GNG. Redirect to the overarching league as an alternative to deletion. The concerns regarding procedural irregularities are baseless and I disregard them entirely. Jack Frost (talk) 11:13, 4 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Adelaide Plains Football League per above as WP:ATD-R. Qwaiiplayer (talk) 13:01, 5 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Adelaide Plains Football League per Jack Frost's rationale. Pilaz (talk) 14:52, 5 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
