PROD contested on the grounds it meets WP:FOOTY criteria, however per WP:BURDEN there is a burden on the creator to establish how articles meet criteria. This article is basically unreferenced, other than the fact it exists, which is not enough to warrant an article on Wikipedia. Cloudz 679 12:43, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - PRODs contested because the clubs are "eligible to participate in national cup competition", which is indeed a standard over at WP:FOOTBALL - but alas those claims are completely unreferenced. WP:RS to WP:V please! Giant Snowman 12:53, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - sources have now been found showing a valid claim to nptability. Giant Snowman 08:40, 14 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment An unsourced article is not reason to delete, at least give the article creator a chance to find sources before delete !vote. Mo ainm~Talk 12:59, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The article was created 11 months ago; how much more time would they need? Dru of Id (talk) 13:35, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Found this that shows they competed in the Irish Cup. Mo ainm~Talk 14:40, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Can play and have played in a national cup competition per source I provided above. Mo ainm~Talk 14:40, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

And what about Roe Valley? They only played in the preliminary round, which doesn't count. Do you have a reference for them, too? Cloudz 679 14:43, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't look, only checked for Rasharkin, quick break from work. Mo ainm~Talk 14:48, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
