Re: Crooklands

The article didn't give any reliable sources to show the notability of the club. I'm not sure if it should be mentioned in Wikipedia ... it seems too much of local interest for me. An article about it would fit better on a local wiki for Lancashire or something. I note that Wikipedia has articles on the West Lancashire Football League and the Furness Premier League, but not many articles about the individual clubs. However I've restored it to User:Crooklands/Crooklands Casuals F.C. so you can work on it there. Another guideline to be aware of is the conflict of interest guideline, which means that if you work for the club you should be careful about writing the article. You can sign your name on talk pages with four tildes like this: "~~~~".. Happy editing, Graham87 14:10, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
