No evidence of notability (found little reliable coverage under the GNG, and clubs are not covered under the sports guideline) Quadrantal (talk) 02:03, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: Per nom. Fails GNG. There are a few trivial mentions in the local newspapers but no significant coverage at all. The original creator probably had some sort of undisclosed COI with the subject since they have only ever made edits to this article. C F A 💬 22:29, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to Mountmellick#Sport. As an ATD. Or, failing that, simply delete. As has been noted, and while I could find and have added a number of pieces of coverage from the local Leinster Leader paper, it is all ROTM coverage of the club's activities (of a type might expect for any local club in the local newspaper; Anywhere on the planet). I can find nothing to indicate independent notability. Under WP:GNG or WP:CLUB. (While the "one of oldest clubs in Ireland" claim might contribute to notability, I can find no independent/reliable source to establish the claimed 1870s foundation date. Nor is there anything to support the text about performance in national competitions.) That we don't have reliable/independent/verifiable sources to establish some of the basics (foundation/disestablishment/etc) indicates that there hasn't been the "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" expected by GNG.
