Keep

Note Sockpuppets - the fact they were good friends and did a lot of University things doesn't make them notable. I'm sure you'll survive if this gets deleted I'm prepared to eat my words if you genuinely "lose all hope". SenorKristobbal 22:26, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Another note The article itself says "There a very few known Ariba Ariba supporters...". Sorry, this stuff belongs on a blog or something, not here in Wikipedia. JungleCat talk/contrib 14:00, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Now thousands of fans? This is an interesting edit JungleCat talk/contrib 15:39, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

• NO DELETE- as manager of this team, it imperative that this page stays. Ariba proved to be my livelihood whilst at uni and the money, time, effort and love i plugged into this team is next to none. just because we aren't affliated in any "English League System" does not mean that we cannot have a page. We have just as much passion and commitment as any other football club in the world. 8th Aug 2006 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dunnlop (talk • contribs) — Possible single purpose account: Dunnlop (talk • contribs) has made little or no other contributions outside this topic.

• NO DELETE Ariba Ariba may only be a small team but it brings hope to many. It is star on the horizon of up and coming football glory.

• NO DELETEKEEP! I have Ariba blood in my veins, its something that I believe in and its something I stand for.

• NO DELETE This page shows a team that were very well respected in the Northampton community. They are responsible for a number of charitable functions, and have been generous, great ambassador's for the University Of Northampton. I believe they deserve recognition, and to delete this page would be a travesty.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.78.111.22 (talk • contribs)

It doesn't matter what you believe, it matters what the notability guidelines say. Please explain your case for keeping this article in terms of the appropriate guidelines. — Dark Shikari ^talk/_contribs 17:27, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

• NO DELETE I saw Ariba Ariba on a number of occasions whilst working at the University of Northampton and i believe that the team hade a great impact on the surrounding community and University.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.108.112.210 (talk • contribs) — Possible single purpose account: 88.108.112.210 (talk • contribs) has made little or no other contributions outside this topic..
• NO DELETE I knew many of the ariba ariba team whilst at the university of northampton and can say that the team was more than just that, they were a team of friends out for good and worked for improvement of the university by getting involved in elections and working for the imrovement of it. Please let this page stay as a reminder of ariba ariba. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.34.147.214 (talk • contribs) — Possible single purpose account: 82.34.147.214 (talk • contribs) has made little or no other contributions outside this topic..

NO DELETE - Surely having a page devoted to a team of youn individuals who had an impact on a great university should be reconsidered to stay on this site. guidelines are fair enough, but this coul d be the first of many pages that can give encouragement to teams and universities to work closely together. REad the page and you will understand that —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.12.126.76 (talk • contribs) — Possible single purpose account: 86.12.126.76 (talk • contribs) has made little or no other contributions outside this topic..

• NO DELETE

i was friends with a few of the ariba ariba boys and i believe that there legacy should live on through these pages - there spirit and attitude has compelled me to form my own team in the northampton inter uni league next season and if we play we the same passion and verve that ariba ariba did then the good times will surely roll! viva ariba ariba!
