Cambodia women's national football team

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

None of the sources in this article talk about the Cambodia women's national football team. The team doesn't exist and this article fails the generic notable guideline. Unless we have multiple sources that discuss the Cambodia women's national football team in depth (and this doesnt) then we cant have an article about it so i think We should delete this Orion Eclipse (talk)

Delete - Page 3 of this article on the Cambodia Football official website says there's no organized women's set-up. I can't find any sources to confirm a team exists - there's a blog port that discusses a friendly in Lao, but no official news reports (in the English Language). --HighKing (talk) 01:11, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: While a senior women's team may not exist, two different age group national teams have existed and represented the country in international competitions. This has been reported in English language newspapers in Cambodia and Thailand. Suggests additional coverage may exist if Thai and Khmer language resources were more accessible. If not keep, then very lest a move to Women's football in Cambodia. --LauraHale (talk) 02:52, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: agree with LauraHale AdabowtheSecond (talk) 02:57, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep National teams that play in FIFA recognised matches are notable. Seems to be enough sources. Hawkeye7 (talk) 07:07, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per the sources and notability already covered. For info, the Madagascar women's national football team haven't played a single FIFA-recognised match, as stated through the recent frontpage DYK for that article. Lugnuts (talk) 08:09, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and encourage continued growth to this article on a Cambodian topic that has very little coverage in Wikipedia. Women's football in Cambodia does have coverage, and is finally a growing sport.[1] Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 09:55, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - enough coverage. Good work on this and similar articles by the way, we should be encouraging craetion & expansion of articles related to women's football. Giant Snowman 10:26, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep enough information for such an almost-unknown women's football team. —Hahc 21 13:41, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per (almost) everyone else. LauraHale deserves massive credit for these articles. Clavdia chauchat (talk) 18:40, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Considering the tragic history of Cambodia and the fact football isn't even among its top 4 national sports, the fact that Cambodia has been a FIFA affiliate since 1954 tells me one should keep this article. This article can grow in time. --Artene50 (talk) 21:09, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
