- Redirect to AFL Britain. Can be verified to exist but I can't see any significant coverage, which is unsurprising for an Aussie rules team in the UK. Plausible search term though, so worth having a redirect. Jenks24 (talk) 10:17, 20 August 2014 (UTC)

- Keep - I don't think redirect to AFL Britain would be a good idea. It's a sports club notable enough, just because Aussie rules isn't a popular sport in England that should not mean it should be deleted, there's a plenty of clubs in Category:Australian rules football clubs in England
- Response What part of Wikipedia:Notability (sports) or WP:GNG do you think it meets? Boleyn (talk) 16:19, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
- Response to response - it's mentioned frequently when discussing the beginnings of Aussie rules in England, took a few seconds in a google search t find mentions of them [1] [2] [3] [4] [5], satisfying all of WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV. Some common sense has to be applied - just because the article is a stub doesn't mean it shouldn't exist, plus there's not a lot on the history of Aussie rules in England anyway. Furthermore the club was founded and folded years before regular use of the internet, so of course it's harder to find mentions of the than some other defunct clubs.
