No credible assertion of notability. British football team playing at step 7 of the National League System (level 11 overall in British football). Speedy deletion (nominated by me) was declined and replaced with Proposed deletion, which was declined (without comment) by the article's author.

• Delete - no evidence of notability. GiantSnowman 11:08, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi I can understand to a certain level that you think the club has no notability I would disagree however I understand your perspective. Would then also request that the other clubs with the Cheshire Association Football League are reviewed as we all have been in existence for 80 plus years and all play at the same level of the game with a similar level of credibility. We are Northern Cup champions 3 years running and have had one of our player play for England 6 aside competition at the last world Cup for a team of this level I don't know what else could improve are credibility  ?

The only other four clubs who field their first team in the Cheshire League and have an article have either played at a higher level (Garswood United in the North West Counties League) or have played in the FA Cup, Trophy or Vase (Knutsford, Rylands, Middlewich Town). WP:FOOTY guidelines are that a club should have done one of these in order to have an article, unfortunately Billinge haven't done either as far as I can see............ -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:19, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The other grounds on which a club can have an article is if it can be proven to meet WP:GNG by having been the subject of in-depth coverage in multiple reliable third-party sources i.e. major news sites or equivalent. This means that the club itself must be the subject of the coverage and it must be covered in detail i.e. not just passing mentions, routine match results or lists of reports. Might that be the case.....? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:02, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
