I declined G4 as the article differs from the previous one. I can't, however, see any increase in the showing of notability, and the article is only referenced to the team's own site. University sports (with the exception of The Boat Race) do not receive great attention in the UK, unlike the position in the USA. Peridon (talk) 20:52, 22 March 2015 (UTC)

• Delete - as noted above, 99.999% of university sport in the UK is not notable even on the campus of the institution, let alone outside it, especially in a minority sport like American football -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:31, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
• Delete - I nominated it originally for speedy deletion which was declined and instead nominated for deletion. I've also nominated another University team for deletion. There's nothing notable about this team. The team plays in the British Universities American Football League and no other team in that league is notable (and other teams' pages in that league were deleted circa 2009/2010 (e.g. Durham University AfD, Plymouth University AfD, Glasgow AfD, etc... ) Rehnn83 ^Talk 09:49, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
• Delete - Non-notable Scottish university sports team. Subject does not satisfy WP:GNG or WP:NORG with significant coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 19:12, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
