[edit] Mayfield GAA
Per WP:ORG, I could not find any reliable sources about this club. RazorICE 10:49, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
*Keep. They received a grant of £350,000 from the Irish government in 2001, which suggests they're a fairly serious organisation. Hurling is a notable sport in Ireland, though largely unknown elsewhere. BTLizard 11:45, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
- Any evidence that the "Mayfield Hurling and Football Club" (the one that received the grant) is the same as the Mayfield GAA? The article seems to specifically talk about a hurling club, and not about a combined hurling and football club, so I'm not quite certain that they are the same. Withholding judgment until this is cleared out (or other sources are found, as this is an indication of notability, but not really overwhelming). Fram 13:20, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
- It definitely is the same club, but the grant seems to have been mainly for their new sports complex, not so much the athletics department. The club is a pretty successful junior GAA in one of Ireland's main counties, so it might be notable enough for an article. There are other articles about clubs from the same level (see Cork GAA). One of those cases where notability is pretty much in the eye of the beholder. Malc82 21:48, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
- I think there's another problem. Much of the text of the article seems to be identical to content on the club's website, which presumably adds up to a copyvio. Oh well. BTLizard 13:55, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

- Comment Clean up the article, but I can't tell if it's notable or not since I don't live over on that side of the pond. --Whstchy 21:16, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached
