Keep Another episode of my hard work been put up for deletion, makes all the hard work worthwhile doesn't it, exactly what constitutes an article, as I can name millions of semi-professional/amateur teams that have an article, so please explain why you want this one deleted!!

For one, there are no sources other than links to the official webpage and the club shop. Del_♉sion23 (talk) 00:22, 9 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - its unfortunate that someone spent time creating something only for it to be deleted, but the shame is that someone spent time creating something that doesn't meet our inclusion criteria. I could create articles about each of the football teams in my local area but none of them would meet the inclusion criteria and so all of them would be deleted. Do the research, then the work. Don't do the work and then plead for mercy. The burden is on the creator to substantiate notability. While the nominator of an article for deletion should ideally justify that nomination, that has been done in this case. Over the the article's proponents to establish why this should stay.
