The result was delete. Lack of Google hits is indeed not a good reason to delete, but lack of third-party verification is, and that concern has not been addressed here. No prejudice to recreation if reliable third-party material can be found. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 22:39, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

London Colney Cricket Club[edit]

Non-notable cricket club. Only 233 Google hits. Astrovega 20:30, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and clean up. A type of cricket club is still notable. Images needs to be smaller.--Edtropolis 20:38, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - just as not all football clubs are notable, so with cricket clubs. This one appears to miss the mark by some distance. -- BPMullins | Talk 22:48, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. WP:GHITS is no criteria for deletion, and historical information in article attests to notability. Capmango 20:58, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I agree, WP:GHITS is not a reason to delete. If it needs working doing to make it more presentable, then so be it. There are other entries from similar cricket clubs that appear to have been left untouched. It is my impression that {{User:Astrovega|Astrovega]] has had a problem with this since it's creation. This is a free encyclopedia and London Colney Cricket Club will only become more notable with more visible presence. As can be seen from the article, it does have a period of history. 212.74.97.211 11:31, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I couldn't find any reliable independent sources. If the article is kept, it needs to be cleaned up severely- it's a massive mess.-Wafulz 19:57, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - this is a village cricket team playing in a non-notable local league, of which there are thousands in the UK. Indeed they are currently near the foot of Division 3 in the Hertfordshire Cricket League - it is hard to get less notable! There is no article for the league - surely this should be created first? The slabs of history completely lack any independent sources, there is no claim to notability and the article is a clear failure of WP:V and WP:N. TerriersFan 22:04, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Important comment - I have now deleted the long history section as copyvio from here pending better authority than the unattributed statement on the talk page. TerriersFan 22:27, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
