Bishop's Castle Town F.C.[edit]

(

)

... that English team Bishop's Castle Town F.C. used to play in the Welsh leagues, but left after a Football Association of Wales ban on non-Welsh teams playing in affiliated leagues?

ALT1:... that Bishop's Castle Town F.C. were banned by the Football Association of Wales from playing in affiliated leagues because they were not Welsh?

Can you find a better source for the hook fact? rsssf.com is a fan page. There should be newspaper reports about the switch (especially since it happened recently, in 2010) or even a press release from the club or the association. Taknaran (talk) 13:54, 18 May 2016 (UTC)

@Taknaran: Actually RSSSF is a reliable source according to precedence and the aforementioned linked judgment. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 15:29, 19 May 2016 (UTC)

Ah, I see. Thanks for the link. Carry on then. Taknaran (talk) 10:53, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

Is this football club notable? I'm a complete football ignoramus but I'm having trouble finding significant coverage and none of the sources inspires particular confidence: #1 only mentions them once, and appears to cover a large number of football clubs; #2 is quite local; #3 is a blog; and #4 is just a standard profile from FAW.

@The C of E: Thoughts on notability? This nomination cannot proceed unless it is determined that the club is notable. If there is no response I will open it up to the wider community for comment at AfD. Intelligentsium 01:36, 5 June 2016 (UTC)
I feel I have to fall back on GNG here. The fact that this has been covered as one of the very few cross-border clubs that has played in another nation's league with coverage of such and the fact that they have played in the Montgomeryshire League, which at level 5 of the Welsh system, enters its clubs in the Welsh Cup which makes it notable pursuant to WP:FOOTYN.

Ah thanks for the link, I was looking for something like that (closest I found was WP:ORG). It looks like the Montgomeryshire League is considered a "lower tier league". Is the usual practice to consider all national leagues to be "national cup" level or just the premier league? Are there any more sources you can add? As it stands the sourcing feels a bit shaky and (3) doesn't appear to be reliable. Intelligentsium 20:34, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

New enough, long enough. Hook short enough and sourced. No neutrality problems found, no copyright problems found. QPQ done and image properly licensed. I agree with Intelligentsium that source #3 is unreliable and I have removed it and its associated subordinate clause; the article is now good to go.--Laun chba ller 13:14, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
