This review has been announced on the talk page of WikiProject Gaelic Games. Comments should be added on this page, below.

As part of the Notability wikiproject, I am trying to sort out whether this topic is notable enough to have its own article. Actually, from what I read from the article, this is a local amateur sports club, and the most prominent claim to notability is that they won some regional titles in youth sports. Clubs like this would usually fail WP:ORG by far, there are hundreds of thousands of these in the world. But I found a number of similar articles that have been created, so I thought I would better ask. Is there a special (say historic) reason why the club is considered notable?

Your opinions are welcome; please add your comments below. --B. Wolterding 15:00, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

This is basicly a fundamental failure to under stand the GAA. All clubs are amateur. This club has provide numerous players to Derry GAA which should be added to the article and played in Derry senior football final a good few times,(Gnevin 19:47, 22 September 2007 (UTC))
Yeah as Gnevin says all GAA teams are amatuer, and yet the GAA is the biggest sport in Ireland, so the amateur excuse can't really be used. Clubs such as these are notable and important because club football plays a massive role in the lives of people from County Derry (and Ireland as a whole). Games including these clubs are very well attended. Derry Boi 21:02, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
