[edit] Flair Utd. F.C.

Vanity - just some 5-a side football team, of which there are millions. Nothing particularly notable about them as far as I can see. sjorford →•← 15:07, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

• Excellent entry. I've been trying to find information on Flair for some considerable time. They're well known around the East London area. — (Unsigned comment by 217.43.11.192; user's 1st edit.)
  • What?! Ashibaka (tock) 16:12, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
    • I've restored sjorford's original nomination, which was removed when 217.43.11.192 added his/her comment, possibly inadvertantly. android79 16:36, August 12, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. No indication of notability, possible vanity. android79 16:36, August 12, 2005 (UTC)

• Keep it! The thing that makes Wikipedia better than any other encyclopædia is that it contains entries that may be only interesting to a smaller population. The entry is factual and non-slanderous. By voting for removal of entries like this you are removing the whole essence of Wikipedia. Every 5-a side football team should have their own Wikipedia page, thus helping to complete vast information database that we are working for. Vanity? I would have to disagree. The entries that we should be deleting are the ones that are clearly fictitious, not the ones that are just less interesting to the general populace. -Martin Butt 19:18, 13 August 2005 (UTC) — (MartinButt's 1st edit.)
• Delete non-notable as per Sjorford. Qwghlm 13:37, August 14, 2005 (UTC)
• keep - let's have all clubs affiliated to the FA Jooler 07:02, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Seriously? That's tens of thousands of outdoor 11-a-side clubs, even before you get to indoor teams like this one.. sjorford →•← 14:29, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
    • So what? Like MartinButt said, the essence of Wikipedia is compiling this wonderfully vast source of knowledge and information. So where is the sense in rejecting a particular genre of entry just because it has a large number of constituents? Surely opening Wikipedia up to the world of amateur football (as an example) can only be of benefit to the knowledge-seeking populace? Or put another way, what harm/detriment can come from accepting such entries? None. It is simply another step towards making Wikipedia the greatest source of information this world has ever experienced. 7killer7 00:25, 22 August 2005
