Either complete fabrication/nonsense, or else a non-notable amateur/kickabout team. Either way, does not meet any WP guidelines ChrisTheDude (talk) 11:54, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - looks like a very elaborate hoax; "Real big one" indeed. Even it is factual, the club is non-notable. -- Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 12:06, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep- It is an official competitive club playing regularly against a variety of teams in the dartford area...if you had been anywhere near where the club is situated you would of heard of them...the club has even held discussions with the company nestle about their sponsorship...but i'm sure 'daemonic kangaroo', a man who clearly has nothing better to do with his time other than try to end the publicity of a blossoming grass roots football club, is a more reliable judge of what constitutes a notable football team, than those who run nestle, one of the most successful companies on the planet. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.25.254.10 (talk) 12:27, 14 March 2011 (UTC) This template must be substituted.[reply]
Keep- I live in the Dartford area and I'm well aware of this club and their current success. They field a multi-national team, and are ambassadors for non-league English football. If this page were to be deleted due to apparent 'fakery', it would be a complete disgrace. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 136.148.166.50 (talk) 12:41, 14 March 2011 (UTC) This template must be substituted.[reply]
Keep- I am a nearby Dartford resident and have heard of the club too. There is no justifiable point in deleting the page. This template must be substituted.
Keep - The page has relevant citations & factual content. Other teams such as Deportivo Wanka & BSC Young Boys have amusing & could be interpreted as inappropriate names but these pages are up for deletion. Indulgent Author (talk) 12:49, 14 March 2011 (UTC) This template must be substituted.[reply]
Keep - As a member of the club & a supporter I can confirm the reliability of the page & that it is a worthwhile entry upon Wikipedia. The club may not be known worldwide, however it is especially notorious in the Dartford area as well as other areas such as across parts of South London & North Kent. It'd be a shame for the page to be deleted, especially considering the number of supporters, especially those from the Dartford area that this page has as you can see from the posts above.

Keep - This team have been setup from the ground up and just because someone has not necessarily heard of them yet does not mean that they shouldn't get the page they deserve. Nestle clearly feel that the team's community-based aims and agenda are inkeeping with how a modern football club should be run as they decided to sponsor the club, and as they say on their website: "Nestlé aims to invest mainly in partnerships and programmes which make a positive difference to young people's lives." I feel that websites like Wikipedia should encourage the development of clubs such as this and for this page to be deleted would not be a step in the right direction This template must be substituted.
- I moved the above comment here, as the IP put it in the article itself rather than here..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 13:33, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I have been involved with the club from its formation, and whilst circumstances may have led to my departure, I can vouch for its genuine existence. It is a club receiving sponsorship that provides a service and sporting outlet for the youth of Dartford, who, lets face it, don't have much hope otherwise. The article should not be deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.205.196.8 (talk) 14:13, 14 March 2011 (UTC) This template must be substituted.[reply]
Delete - seems non-notable. Not playing in a league? Pelmeen10 (talk) 15:13, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
~~Keep~~ - The league that the team were playing in disbanded last year, so we are currently awaiting confirmation from the F.A to join the current league system in place in our area. Also, we have just received our invitation to the F.A. Cup Preliminary Qualifying Rounds for next year's tournament, commencing on the 13th August. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.78.23.144 (talk) 15:28, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Please don't !vote more than once. Also, that last part is patently not true, as the FA does not invite teams to enter the FA Cup (rather they have to apply), and a team has to have competed in either the FA Cup or FA Vase in the previous season to be eligible anyway -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 15:53, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Citations seem to back up. After a quick read the page seems relevant & factual and I for one enjoyed finding out about the club, we have a lot to learn from a multicultural club such as this. Dirk Valentine (talk) 15:54, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm not really sure how you can claim that the citations back up the content, when there are only two citations, one to a Tweet (!!!) saying simply "Real Bigone CF's new kit represents the clubs passion and desire to achieve great things" and one to a random PDF on FIFA's website which contains nothing whatsoever to do with this team...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 16:01, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Footballs a funny old game, but I have edited and created lots of football teams pages & to me this one seems valid & genuine. Quite a chip on your shoulder to see this gone, Chris. I assume the word 'dude' in your name refers to the reproductive organs of a camel and not the informal way of addressing a well-liked gentleman. Dirk Valentine (talk) 16:21, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - Comment - This article made me laugh and the club may even exist, but it is well below the bar in terms of notability. As far as I can tell from the article, they have only played one match (against "Athletico Ladrid") which hd an attendance of just four (4) - hardly well supported. I have deleted the incorrect reference that Chris refers to - the twitter page belongs to BurtsyWurtsy aka Anthony Burton/Anthony Burtinho. The whole thing is just oone big joke. -- Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 16:36, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Yet another SPA has popped up, this time posting the following on the article's talk page:
Keep - As a father, its nice to be able to find sports teams in your local area for your children. I stumbled across this page today whilst searching for local football teams for the possibility that my son (who is a keen upcoming footballer) may be able to get a trial. I contacted the club and they were very friendly and helpful with our request. I feel it would be a shame if this page was deleted, along with many others i'm sure, as it provides a pathway into exercise and enjoyment for the upcoming generation. Our Dartford community cannot afford for such windows of opportunity to be taken away. Kenny90 (talk) 16:34, 14 March 2011 (UTC)Kenny90 This template must be substituted.[reply]
Delete - this club falls well short of the relevant notability standard for football clubs and the general notability guidelines. —BETTIA— ^talk 17:02, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - As a Port Vale fan, I'm well aware that there is only one team of note who play at the Princes Park stadium. This mischief has gone far enough now, mirror sites are beginning to pick up on this article, and it will now doubt be immortalized forever in wikibin.org anyway. For this team to be notable they must apply for membership of the Kent County League, then win promotion to the Kent League. If that happens then I will eat my own head.--EchetusXe 17:13, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- We currently play on the community pitch next to the stadium. However I would add that Millwall F.C. Reserves play at Princes Park & find it preposterous that being as a Port Vale fan (I assume you're from the Stoke area?) you have more knowledge of Dartford F.C. and the club than a number of people who live in the town. Care to explain how you do? --BurtsyWurtsy (talk) 17:25, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:NFT. Usual business of a bunch of students or somesuch thinking it'd be a great idea to create an article about their kickabouts. Oldelpaso (talk) 17:19, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
