Non notable British University sports team. British University sports teams are not generally notable. Often, they are unheard of even on their own campus. This team does not appear to be amongst the small number of exceptions to this rule. Google turns up only sites directly related to the team and its rivals. Article is also unreferenced. Given the lack of independent and/or reliable sources on the team, I see no prospect of being able to reference the article. Pit-yacker (talk) 17:17, 27 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete - As I've said time and again, there are very few British Uni sports that are notable. This isn't one of them and since a Google search reveals nothing sans their own website and their rivals, I doubt they ever will become notable.

- Delete per nom. This does not appear to be one of the few notable British university sports teams. Pfainuk talk 17:11, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - Notable as a full, active member of BUAFL. Please see the extended discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Derby Braves. SteveStrummer (talk) 03:03, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- There seems little basis to assume that BUAFL members are inherently notable even in the absence of significant coverage in independent reliable sources. Please demonstrate that such coverage exists. Pfainuk talk 17:14, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete no independent sources--Paul McDonald (talk) 02:01, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - complete failure to meet WP:ORG since there is no significant coverage in reliable sources. TerriersFan (talk) 00:16, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
