Contested PROD deletion, reason was "If you search for "Sahara Club Nepal" in Google, you'll realise the club is notable wrt the number of news items. It's just that the author perhaps hasn't added citations. I'll do so in the next few days". Non-notable youth football club that fails WP:ORG and WP:GNG. --Jimbo[online] 13:33, 16 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Very Strong Keep Google news archives search for Sahara Club Pokhara is here. Google current news search for the club is here. Pretty much notable. Mention in some third party sources is neither trivial nor incidental but on the club. ▒ Wirεłεşş ▒ Fidεłitұ ▒ Ćłâşş ▒ Θnε ▒ ―Œ ♣Łεâvε Ξ мεşşâgε♣ 15:26, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I disagree with the above assessment. Most of the Google News Archive hits are simple mentions/scores of them participating in the Aaha Gold Cup. The cup does not appear to be related to the organization (I can't tell from the article). The other sources are at FIFA.com and a couple South African online news sites. At least two of them are duplicates[1][2] and another[3] is within a couple of days of the others leading me to believe that it was some sort of PR campaign. Those sources do give some good info though. If they are considered significant enough then I could see keeping it. If it is kept, it needs to be reduced to a stub to trim out the fluffy writing and good inline citations will be needed to expand it. Cptnono (talk) 09:34, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Clarification I want to tell everyone that the Sahara club is a renowned club in Nepal and is a organization helping children. The clubs' academy has produced many nepalese national footballers and is recogniszed by ANFA. The cup is held by the club yearly and is major tournament in Nepalese football.--Glantiwehene (talk) 10:49, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Does the club sponsor the cup or only participate in it? (source would be appreciated)? I'm assuming they are more notable for their work over their ball but what level of do they play?Cptnono (talk) 23:49, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
