Non-notable company, whose article is currently just a promotion. - Sorfane 12:55, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong Keep Notable non-profit football organisation. Article need cleanup and references added. 203.194.16.90 (talk) 13:00, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This article is not self promotion. This is a WIKIPEDIA entry for the well established, professionally orientated and award winning 6-a-side League played at Downhill in Sunderland. The notable aspects are that the League is FA Charter Standard, strict on rules and has been web enabled since it's establishment in 1999. Since then it's had hundreds of teams taking part region wide.

As a non-profit organisation, it does not need promotion.

It was initially deleted by an American who are completely unaware of soccer's impact everywhere apart from the USA. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Davindersangha (talk • contribs) 13:20, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Notability is if "a topic has received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject" After a Google search, I can find no evidence of that. - Sorfane 13:24, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Load of rubbish. Typing Sassco football in Google UK will see a lot of responses. Also, Whitehills FC, Washington Colliery FC and a number of other articles are still there.

Also the parent league, WCFL Wearside Combination Football League is on Wiki and Sassco is a part of it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Davindersangha (talk • contribs) 13:38, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Ah Googlehits. Try adding "Sunderland" or football related terms to the searches. There are also far more non-internet primary sources available to those in the UK. 203.194.16.90 (talk) 13:44, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
As I say, sources need to be independent of the subject. If your parent league is on Wikipedia, why don't you merge Sassco into that? - Sorfane 13:49, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So, being new to editing on WIKI. How the hell do I get them to stop deleting the article. It's significant enough and I've seen dozens of pages with no references. Most of our references come in the local printed press and not on the internet. Also, the vast amount of teams don't have websites which means they wouldn't be able to show linkage to us.

Just cite some of the printed press sources.
