Fails WP:V – no indication that this team exists, let alone has played in any tournaments (international or otherwise). PROD was removed by an IP editor with no reason given. IgnorantArmies (talk) 17:42, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete I have looked up the team on google, I have failed to find anything on a women's national team, only men's and youth sides. Seasider91 (talk) 18:21, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Hmmm; I found this on the Sint Maarten FA's Facebook page (their women's U18 team), so I'd be surprised if they didn't have a full women's team, but I can't find anything to confirm. Number 57 13:46, 26 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The age brackets for international women's youth football are under-17s and under-20s, so that's a bit peculiar. Football seems to be either not very popular or quite unorganised in Sint Maarten (the men's team did not play any internationals between 2004 and earlier this year). I guess it's possible that women's football is new enough to the country that most of the female players are school students, which would explain the absence of a senior team.

  • Delete as there's nothing for the necessary solid independent notability improvements, 1 association is listed but there's nothing else. SwisterTwister talk 23:30, 1 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per a developing organization. I'm not seeing much, but it looks like there is movement toward creating an article on each of these various member states in that part of the world, so if it's part of a series, clearly some nations will be more organized than others.

  • Delete. I have to agree with the other delete !votes. There's virtually nothing out there. It doesn't really matter, but the Facebook link, above is from a page that is not verified -- note there's no check mark next to the name on the main page. In any case, not notable; at best, WP:TOOSOON. --Larry/Traveling_Man (talk) 02:14, 3 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
