Galveston Pirate SC

Men's amateur soccer team; as such, it is not notable per WP:FOOTY and WP:ATHLETE. My hometown alone, which is smaller than Houston, probably has 20-25 such teams. NawlinWiki (talk) 18:23, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

My home town has a population about 1/6th the the size of Houston an we have upwards of 30 teams. The subject of this article is not notable. per WP:FOOTY and WP:ATHLETE. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.0.235.222 (talk) 03:22, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

They no longer and haven't played in the SPSL since mid-February. I agree now - since I'm the one who created the league articlee - that the league wiki article shouldn't be there anymore. The league will fall apart soon since it's garbage. Keep the team(s) wiki articles around. I have confidence that the Galveston Pirate SC is in the Houston Football Association for a short time. Besides, there aren't any amateur, semi-pro, or pro leagues of any sort in Galveston aside from Pirate SC. Treyvo (talk) 15:30, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - non-notable local team; even the league they play in isn't worthy of an article! Giant Snowman 13:53, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
