Keep They played last week in the 2020 Thai League Cup as per this, though were quickly eliminated. Their best performance was in the 2018 Thai League Cup where they played in the first three rounds, before being eliminated by Krabi F.C. who were then in 2018 Thai League 2; but they also appeared in the 2016 Thai League Cup and 2017 Thai League Cup. The League Cup is a national level cup, which includes the fully professional Thai League 1 teams. Nfitz (talk) 05:52, 29 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Wait I thought the national cup rule was only for the top cup competition and not the Thai League Cup HawkAussie (talk) 05:26, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It's hardly a rule ... but it's not that clear - simply saying "the national cup". The only example it gives is for England, where it notes that the FA Cup, FA Trophy, FA Amateur Cup or FA Vase generally meet WP:GNG criteria. Ironically it neglects the FA League Cup, but as that's restricted to the top 4 levels anyway, it's moot. Which is probably true in Thailand too, as the Thai League Cup is restricted to the 85 clubs in the top 4 leagues. Nfitz (talk) 19:07, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: WP:FOOTYN is not a formal guideline. That said, the subject does have some news coverage. Not sure if it would be considered in-depth enough to satisfy the GNG: [1][2] (league coverage), [3] (match report), [4] (branding). --Paul_012 (talk) 11:40, 4 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
