Non-notable football club that does not exist yet .. no evidence of notability and no references provided either TonyStarks (talk) 21:27, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete -- fails WP:CRYSTAL massively. "...which still has no 2009 official press or media release information...", followed by a dead link? Nothing I can see on Google beyond WP mirrors to even verify this as speculation, let alone verify it's genuine. And so, by extension, absolutely nothing with which to claim notability.

  • Follow-up, I did actually find something relating to this after searching for the other, related AfD: [1]. Not reliable by any stretch, and I'm not convinced it's actually from a legitimate news source (nothing like a major news agency, anyway) because otherwise this would probably find something resembling a reliable mirror for it. Regardless, the content suggests this was going to happen in 2008, yet it clearly hasn't. So perhaps not as bad as I first thought, but it's certainly a non-notable team that never came to fruition, and may not ever.

• Redirect to Canadian Soccer League as an expansion team which obviously never came to fruition. GiantSnowman 17:34, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Looks too non-notable to even support a redirect--appears never to have gotten beyond the idea stage. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 12:18, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - No coverage in reliable sources. -- Whpq (talk) 13:35, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
