The result was redirect to Soccer in Saba. I cannot redirect to Football in Saba as that page is itself a redirect. A page move can always be considered next. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 23:41, 16 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Short version: it doesn't have one. Saba is an island with less than 2,000 inhabitants, and doesn't even have one actual full size soccer pitch. They aren't a member of any soccer organization. They don't have a local competition. But from time to time, the, well, village team played matches against a neighbouring small island (population just over 3,000 people). Lacks notability or even real existence (it isn't even a "nation" so the term "national team" is rather loosely applied here). Fram (talk) 10:56, 4 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Still overthinking whether this should be kept or merged into football in Saba. gidonb (talk)
Redirect to Football in Saba as possible search term. Giant Snowman 19:29, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. A few years ago I created the article Soccer in Saba because my research indicated that they call it soccer. The page that was created more recently, Football in Saba, is a duplicate and has been found to have multiple issues. If it is decided that a redirect is appropriate, it should be to Soccer in Saba and the duplicate article should be speedily deleted..--Gri3720 (talk) 23:51, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Of note is that within the discussion, two distinct redirect targets have been suggested.

Redirect to Soccer in Saba. It looks like Football in Saba has been redirected to Soccer in Saba, so the only option now for a redirect between the two plausible search term is to Soccer in Saba. Fats40boy11 (talk) 20:25, 12 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
