[edit] Carrickcruppen

Carrickcruppen (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

I can't seem to find notability beyond the "official website". Lacks sources and cites. Navou ^talk 19:25, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

• Delete -- three Google hits (with the apostrophe, none); sounds like it's verging on a hoax. At best a community club. Dylan 19:55, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - I'm not sure what the notability guidelines are on football teams, but this team doesn't seem notable at all (i.e. not news coverage at all or anything else 'notable). Jayden54 19:56, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per above. Just H 19:58, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete smells hoaxaliscious to me, that aside fails WP:V marvelously. SkierRMH 21:25, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Even if not a hoax (nice website for a hoax team, BTW) the only claim to notability is being in the 2nd division of a amatuer (oops, apparently all Gaelic football is amatuer) county league. I don't know how notability goes for Gaelic football, but if this were a soccer team it'd be obviously nn. I think if they can't play on the national level it'd be considered nn.

  • Comment The amateur status of GAA teams in itself doesn't affect their notabilty. The later stages of the major competitions draw audiences (to the games and on television) that would make professional teams (of any sport) green with envy. (And trust me, never make the mistake of trying to find a hotel room at short notice in Dublin during the later stages of the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship or the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship ;O)) Flowerpotman 01:26, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up, I was thinking about taking up Aer Lingus on one of their Fly-Drive deals. OTOH, as a 2nd division county level team, this team could not compete on the national level, correct? Here's an idea, change the Carrickcruppen article to reflect its status as a town, as a town, it won't be deleted.Tubezone 05:42, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

I'll see what I can find on Carrickcruppen tomorrow (post-turkey). Don't know much about the place, except that it is near Camlough and Newry, which puts it about 200 miles away from me. I'll also have a look at WikiProject Gaelic Games. Flowerpotman 22:20, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

• *Delete, but a weak delete. Unfortunately there isn't a Wikipedia article for the village of Carrickcruppen, as this article could be merged in as a section. I categorized it as a Armagh GAA club a few weeks ago in the hope someone a bit more knowledgeable on the subject might do a rewrite. (Note: Searching Google using Carrickcruppen, rather than St Patrick's Carrickcruppen will get a lot more relevant results.) Definitely not a hoax article, though; the club certainly exists.Flowerpotman 01:03, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
