[edit] Real Dominus Bate F.C.

Real Dominus Bate F.C. (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

This is a hoax. Aside from the preposterous claims made in the article, a web search turns up no results for the name of the team other than this page, and no results at all for the league they supposedly play in or the stadium they supposedly play at. Also, Hamilton Ricard plays in Colombia so it's unlikely he would also have managed a no-name team in Scotland ChrisTheDude 16:15, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

  • This team exists! - I've seen them play in St Andrews. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.251.212.28 (talk • contribs)
    • OK, in that case I withdraw the "hoax" reference but stand by my nomination on the ground of complete and utter non-notability ChrisTheDude 21:19, 25 November 2006 (UTC) Even if the team does exist, the article is still composed almost entirely of hoax material and nonsense, such as the blatantly untrue references to transfer fees paid and received ChrisTheDude 15:29, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep this article - The team exists within St Andrews University sunday football league —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stannrya (talk • contribs)
  • ""DO NOT DELETE"" - Team does exist in a small league within St Andrews, the PAndrome Bates staidum is just a nickname for the St Andrews football pitches and stand. Also the original manager was Hamilton Richard, who was misspelt in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.251.212.29 (talk • contribs)
Comment It's still not notable for encyclopedic purposes. Tubezone 17:24, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
Comment A Sunday League team who once bought a player for £4,000 and once sold one for £20,000? Utter nonsense.ChrisTheDude 15:16, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

  • Strong delete - hoax, utter rubbish. Qwghlm 16:29, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - complete nonsense. No such league (or very much else referenced in the article) exists - fchd 17:46, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. No source, no article, no problem. - Mailer Diablo 18:17, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete, unverifiable, hoax. --Terence Ong (C | R) 01:09, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per keep argument above. Playing in a Sunday league is automatic entry to the ranks of non-notability. -- Bpmullins | Talk 19:38, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per arguments above. --Angelo 02:53, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
