Note The club is often also referred to as 'All Saints GAA' and 'All Saints Ballymena'.--A bit iffy (talk) 03:13, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
Delete as non notable. Nothing in the article itself suggests notability. I note there are no references. In Googling I can't find significant independent coverage — only passing mentions and the occasional brief match report. I've skimmed the club's [http://www.allsaintsgac.com/about/history/ own history] but nothing leaps out to suggest notability. Tellingly, in video clips of All Saints matches, there are almost no spectators.--A bit iffy (talk) 03:13, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

:Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Strong Keep although it plainly needs a bit of work and much better sourcing. This club is unusual in fielding teams in four Gaelic sports, and although a relatively young club it has provided inter-county players. Brocach (talk) 00:02, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

:I have rewritten, reformatted and greatly expanded the article since its AfD nomination, to date relying mainly on GAA sources but on the lookout for additional refs. The account of its long wrangle with the hostile local council (greatly condensed and neutralised from that given in the club's website) should be enough on its own to establish notability.

Also strongly in favor of keeping this article. It clearly needs to be written better, but it deserves it place as well as any other GAA club. It's location in Ballymena is of interest, and as Brocach has mentioned the club has supplied players to the Antrim senior teams is noteworthy. Pmunited (talk) 13:27, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
