Unreferenced. I don't see any useful references searching for "MS Tala" "football" -"Wikipedia", so I suspect this is not notable. WP:NTEAM defers to the WP:GNG, so I don't see another route to proving notability. › Mortee _talk 10:48, 31 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

*Delete. Searches under all alternative names do not reveal reliable sources with significant coverage to show notability. ~ Araratic | talk 12:24, 31 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently there are more alternative names to this club, the sources added in Arabic do help to establish notability but significant coverage from them may be questionable. Withdrawing delete vote. ~ Araratic | talk 11:15, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Added more content to the article, with sources of course. Ben5218 (talk) 13:47, 31 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Apparently also known as MS TLA? Seems to pass WP:GNG but I cannot confirm due to language issues. SportingFlyer talk 01:07, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The club name in Arabic is (مركز شباب تلا), and from the way it's pronounced it should be spelled Markaz Shabab Tala or simply MS Tala. MS Tla would work too and it's actually used in multiple websites, but it's not the correct way to spell it. Ben5218 (talk) 12:22, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, that's much appreciated information. Mentioned the club name since if you were doing a WP:BEFORE search in only English, you'd miss a number of possible sources. SportingFlyer talk 18:32, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I did also try in Arabic (the name's in the article), but I couldn't find anything that way either; I should have mentioned that in the nomination, but left it out because Arabic's a hard language for me to search in, so I figured my attempt wouldn't count for much. Two of the new references are to the official Facebook page and one is a bare mention, so I don't count those for notability purposes. The other two do look useful. I'll leave this open a little while longer in case there's more input. › Mortee _talk 19:18, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - good working on sourcing. Furthermore, this confirms (in English) that the team participated in the National Cup, which is a standard for notability for football teams. All in all, I'm convinced it is notable. Giant Snowman 10:45, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
