Fails WP:GNG. No evidence of existence, let alone notability, of a football team under this name in Boston. T. Cadwallader Phloog (talk) 17:48, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: American football and Massachusetts. Shellwood (talk) 17:58, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
- Delete, I was not able to even verify that a football team in Boston with this name existed! BeanieFan11 (talk) 18:10, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
- Delete: I concur with the rationale. Unsourced since 2012, and all coverage is of the similarly-named team that played the Packers. A quick search turned up just mentions in lists (and even then I'm not sure if the reference is to the alleged Boston team.

- Delete, lacks WP:SIGCOV and WP:GNG, especially if Beanie can't find anything on it. Hey man im josh (talk) 18:29, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
- Delete: I'm wondering if this was a hoax, and needing a G3 instead. Take a look at the original 1915 North End A.C. Season, prior to its redirect, the only other Wikipedia contributions from the article creator. NONE of those teams or locations sound like anything in and around Boston, and there's never been a 47th Street in Boston to have a "47th Street Field" ON. We should add the redirect to any deletion. Good work to the nom in finding this; bad business that it took a bloody decade for anyone to do so. Ravenswing 19:37, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
- @Ravenswing: There does appear to have been a "North End A.C." team which played that schedule, except they were based in North Wheeling, WV, not Boston (see here and here). BeanieFan11 (talk) 20:11, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
- Delete per above. Completely unsourced and fails WP:GNG. Fats40boy11 (talk) 19:44, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

- Delete. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NTEAM, per all above. Ejgreen77 (talk) 04:15, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
- Delete If it turns out to be true and offline sources are found and presented, we can always put it back. But I have to go on what I can find.--Paul McDonald (talk) 01:51, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
