British university sports teams are rarely notable, even within their own university (my friend goes to university in Lancaster, and she didn't even know they had a American football team until a couple or so weeks ago). This one is no different - and I can't find anything to suggest otherwise. DitzyNizzy (aka Jess)|(talk to me)|(What I've done) 22:19, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as non-notable, like almost all UK university sports teams. The only mention on the university's website of this team is the inclusion of American football in a bare list of sports you can play at the uni, and I think the bit at the top saying "Sport at Aberystwyth University is a big deal and irrespective of your ability you are encouraged to give it ago (sic) by joining the University's sports clubs" sums up nicely how seriously university sport is taken in the UK....... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:50, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as per nom and per ChrisTheDude. This team does not appear to be one of those rare notable UK university sports teams. Pfainuk talk 16:45, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per arguments above. Article is also unreferenced. Since Google returns little beyond sites related to the team and its rivals, there is little chance of being able to reference the article due to the lack of independent sources on the team. Pit-yacker (talk) 17:48, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
delete no independent sources cited.--Paul McDonald (talk) 18:56, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
