Non notable British University sports team. Sports teams at British Universities aren't usually notable. Often they are unheard of by the majority of students on campus. This team does not appear to be one of the small number of exceptions. No claim of notability. The team plays in the British Universities American Football League and no other team in that league is notable (and other teams' pages in that league were deleted circa 2009/2010 (e.g. Durham University AfD, Plymouth University AfD, Glasgow AfD, etc... ) Rehnn83 Talk 11:02, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

- Delete - other than the Boat Race and the cricket teams of a handful of institutions, university sport in the UK is completely non-notable. As mentioned above, I doubt that the majority of students even know that the university has an American football team, and it certainly doesn't attract any coverage off campus -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 19:20, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
- Delete per above. This is completely non-notable. Tavix | Talk 23:55, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
- Delete - Non-notable British university sports team. Subject does not satisfy WP:GNG or WP:NORG with significant coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 16:03, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
- Delete It must be said that at UK schools and universities, sport is sport, and not big business. It's not the reason for being at university (with the exception, perhaps, of Loughborough which was originally there seemingly for the purpose of supplying the nation with PE teachers). Add to this the low profile of American football in general in the UK, and any university AF team is going to find it hard to get the coverage we require. Peridon (talk) 20:42, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
