[edit] Nitelink Rovers

Nitelink Rovers (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non-notable football team, probably in fact entirely fictional. Google returns only two hits; both of which are to Wikipedia. I am not sure if this meets the criteria for speedy deletion, so I'm listing it here instead.

I would also suggest that the articles on the 'players' the article links to be deleted on the same grounds. Stevefarrell 21:57, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

  • This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of football (soccer) related deletions. Scottmsg 22:09, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete all - nonsensical. Archibald99  22:21, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete all - just a load of bull. -- Mattythewhite 22:25, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete all - A hoax that even if it were true would not be notable. Scottmsg 22:59, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete all definitely a hoax. Please consider for deletion also International Youth Cup, David O'Sullivan-Kontoursis, and Clonlost, respectively the fake league, the fake manager and a duplicate of Nitelink Rovers. Please note how all these articles were created by the same user, Gizmo10. So I also propose to block him for vandalism, if possible. --Angelo 01:11, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
    • Maybe this is not the right place to discuss this, but the same user created a fake logo for the fake team: this. --Angelo 01:11, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
  • do not wish to be offended by this but i feel i must defend myself. Nitelink Rovers is a football team affiliated with a youth club in Dublin Ireland. I am responsible for this youth club and run it along with other adults. The mentioned "coach" is another leader in the youth club who has qualifications from the FAI(football association of Ireland). We are an amateur youth club and the international youth club cup is what the group of teams refer to the tournament as. Our youth club is affiliated with the E.C.Y.D. and regnum Christi (see legionaires of Christ) who have a boarding school in Wicklow, Ireland known as Dublin Oak. The other teams are all teams of E.C.Y.D. Members from clubs in the country. The children in the youth club all use Wikipedia as a resource for their school work and asked that they could have themselves on the site. This article may not be of significant use to other members of the site but the children really enjoy being able to see themselves on the internet. As a user of Wikipedia for many years I am upset that other users are saying that i should be blocked as i have put nothing untruthful in any of the articles I have written. The only part of any article that could be deemed untrue is the inclusion of Eugene O'Connor and "Zippo" Nolan. These are two fathers who have done alot of work installing toilets and doing building work on the club and as a gesture of goodwill the children asked them to be included.
I would like to hear from people regarding this issue as i feel it is highly unfair what is being said of myself and these articles.

Then it isn't in the least bit notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia. It's a youth club team. There are thousands of these throughout Ireland and the United Kingdom. I can think of ten in my own home town, which has a much smaller population than Dublin. Your youth club's football team is not notable. I'm sorry to break it to you, but it isn't. Please read WP:N and WP:NOT. There are also separate guidelines on what kinds of football teams are notable enough for inclusion on Wikipedia, but I forget where those are. This doesn't even nearly meet the criteria for notability. Sorry. --Stevefarrell 15:04, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete all per nomination. Qwghlm 20:39, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete WP does not exist to give non-notable people a kick out of seeing themselves included. If the kids want to have an internet presence they should check out MySpace or something similar..... ChrisTheDude 08:05, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
    • also Delete all the articles on the club's individual players, namely Shane Kearns, Aidan McCann, Odhran Mahar, Niall O'Cuilleanain, Peter Ryan Cosgrove, Luke Nolan, Morgan MacFhionnlaoich, Fionn Kelly, Seán O'Connor, Karl Rogers, Cormac Roche, Jason Cullen, Ryan Connolly, Richie Keely, David O'Sullivan-Kontoursis, Duane Dalton, Zippo Nolan and Eugene O'Connor.......
