Weston FC[edit]

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

Youth sports league which fails WP:GNG and WP:BRANCH, almost all youth leagues are non-notable, and "[a]s a general rule, the individual chapters of national and international organizations are usually not considered notable enough to warrant a separate article - unless they are substantially discussed by reliable independent sources that extend beyond the chapter's local area."

Keep - The nomination is absolutely irrelevant, the club is not a local affiliate of anybody. It's an independent club in a league where every other independent club that has played games so far has its own article. And the NPSL isn't a youth league, anyway. It's semiprofessional. It's recognized by US Soccer, but that's not the same as being a direct youth team of another club. Being affiliated with US Soccer doesn't make it a "local chapter" any more than all the other clubs in the country, which are also affiliated with US Soccer officially. Weston FC itself certainly isn't a youth league since it isn't a league at all. Neither reason specified for nomination is accurate. Smartyllama (talk) 20:16, 26 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not a reason for keeping. Nor have you actually demonstrated which notability criterion is met. LibStar (talk) 09:51, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It's a fourth-tier team. Not a player, but a team. Fourth-tier teams in the American soccer pyramid are notable per consensus. Especially if they're independent teams. And per WP:NFOOTYCLUB, clubs in notable leagues are notable, with the NPSL considered a notable league. Smartyllama (talk) 12:48, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Notable per consensus? Well the clear consensus here is not notable. LibStar (talk) 16:23, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Non-notable club, fails WP:FOOTYN - no evidence the club has participated in a national competition. No indication of wider coverage that would satisfy GNG. Fenix down (talk) 14:21, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
