I beleive that this club plays below level 10 (level 6) of the notabily threshold and have not appeared at a higher level of football or have a had cup success e.g. reached the 1st round of the FA cup  Sunderland06  20:21, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

• Weak keep - article says they played in the Northern Counties East Football League which is level 9 and 10. Peanut4 (talk) 19:45, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
• Keep Club has played in Northern Counties East Football League Premier Division (Step 5) in the past.[1] пﮟოьεԻ 57 19:46, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Comment FCHD implies there are two distinct clubs of this name, the earlier of which played in the Northern Counties East Football League Premier Division, though the article makes no reference to any break in continuity. The current incarnation of the club seems not to have played at a notable level. Struway2 (talk) 22:58, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

This appears to be the history section on the club's official website. [2]. It implies the club moved to Winterton Rangers, and a new one was reformed. Not sure whether to stick or twist. Peanut4 (talk) 23:04, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

And according to Winterton's official website [3] they themselves were disbanded in 1985. Peanut4 (talk) 23:06, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

(edit conflict) Winterton Rangers disbanded in 1985, and re-entered the NCEFL (coincidentally) the year after Appleby F. left it, according to their website. But Appleby F.'s website claims all the honours of the original club, so on grounds of verifiability over (possibly) truth, I don't see how one can argue against them being the same club. In which case,

• Keep per Number 57. Struway2 (talk) 23:27, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

• Keep - while the current club would lack the notability, the previous club of the same name merits keeping for their Midland League and Northern Counties East League spells. - fchd (talk) 17:36, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
