Proposed deletion of Burnley Belvedere F.C.[edit]

The article Burnley Belvedere F.C. has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Amateur clubs are generally not considered notable under the notability guidelines. Please see: Wikipedia:WikiProject_Football/Notability and WP:ORG.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

I don't think the Burnley Belvedere page should be removed as several other clubs of a similar and indeed lesser standing have their own pages including Rawtenstall Athletic who until I edited the page had an entry featuring completely ficticious content.Turton,Eagley, Dalton United and The West Lancs League itself have their own pages yet you've decided to delete Burnley United ? It might be better if you were more concerned with making sure the content of these pages is more accurate. (Ralphtheclaret (talk) 07:35, 31 October 2009 (UTC));[reply]

Hello. Thanks for point those pages out. I will also proposed those for deletion if they meet the criteria. The reason I proposed your page was because we have notability guidelines, and, in general, amateur football clubs do not meet the threshold for inclusion. As Burnley Belvedere play in a non-professional league and do not (as far as I can tell) feature in the FA Cup, I do not believe they meet our notability requirements. Citing other pages that are similar (or worse) is an argument to avoid in deletion discussions, per WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Best, Cocytus [»talk«] 14:05, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

With all due respect wikipedias pages feature any number of clubs who don't enter the FA Cup and amateur status was removed from English football in 1974 so your criteria is dubious to say the least I won't bother myself by doing anymore editing unless I spot one of the hundreds of factually incorrect entries regards (Ralphtheclaret (talk));

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but all Wikipedia articles must meet our criteria for inclusion (see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Since it does not seem that Burnley Belvedere F.C. meets these criteria, an editor has started a discussion about whether this article should be kept or deleted.

Your opinion on whether this article meets the inclusion criteria is welcome. Please contribute to the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Burnley Belvedere F.C.. Don't forget to add four tildes (~~~~) at the end of each of your comments to sign them.

Discussions such as these usually last seven days. In the meantime, you are free to edit the content of the article. Please do not remove the "articles for deletion" template (the box at the top). When the discussion has concluded, a neutral third party will consider all comments and decide whether or not to delete the article. Cocytus [»talk«] 15:05, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Page blanking[edit]

Please do not replace Wikipedia pages with blank content, as you did to Rawtenstall Athletic F.C.. Blank pages are harmful to Wikipedia because they have a tendency to confuse readers. If it is a duplicate article, please redirect it to an appropriate existing page. If the page has been vandalised, please revert it to the last legitimate version. If you feel that the content of a page is inappropriate, please edit the page and replace it with appropriate content. If you believe there is no hope for the page, please see the deletion policy for how to proceed. --Allen3 ^talk 13:03, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
