- Comment: The problem with this article as currently constituted is that its sources merely show that this club existed. What we really need to see is substantial analysis of Helensburgh Thistle F.C. (i.e. something more in-depth than a news report). Modussiccandi (talk) 19:58, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
