I considered speeding or PROD but, as this is a foreign subject, I'm not sure if it's simply unknown but my searches found nothing at all. Pinging Godsy and Jhona43 for comment. SwisterTwister talk 01:00, 9 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - can't find anything about it in English. The file it contains is up for deletion. I thought it might be a hoax last night; I just did a reverse image search on the logo, and found some potential sources, albeit in Arabic. Unless those sources can be added and establish notability, I'd say deletion is probably the way to go. Could have put it up for WP:A7, as was alluded to above, now that I think about it. Thanks for the ping.—Godsy^(TALK_CONT) 09:28, 9 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - not difficult to find information about this club in the Arab media, such as [1]. As such I'm not sure what the basis for the nomination is. Perhaps User:SwisterTwister could put forward a policy-based argument? Nfitz (talk) 22:10, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nfitz Simple, I'm not sure if this is notable or can even be improved. SwisterTwister talk 22:35, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hard to see how it can't be improved; copying the info from the Arabic version for one! Also wouldn't a Saudi Third Division team have played in the pre-1990 Kings Cup thus meeting WP:FOOTYN User:SwisterTwister. Nfitz (talk) 22:52, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or Userfy There is sufficient media coverage to warrant improvement. This article was nominated less than 24 hours after creation - hardly enough time to properly translate Arabic media coverage into English. I also note that the page creator was not notified of AfD nomination, so I have done so. — Jkudlick ^tc_s 04:14, 13 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Jkudlick Well, I nominated it because I was alerted by the "hoax" tag and considering there's not much info and no sources (there's hardly much difference from the Arabic Wiki), I took it for commenting. Regarding translating, that's why it's better to start all together (I'm very conscious of bulking my edits as much as possible to lower unnecessary multiple edit clicks).

Delete - yes it exists, though I see neither sufficient media coverage or sporting achievements to merit notability. Giant Snowman 09:18, 13 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - For now, I can't see GNG unless someone is able to translate the foreign language sources. Fenix down (talk) 11:54, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Clear failure of WP:GNG. There is no absolute evidence that this team has competed at the highest level of national cup. Spiderone 18:02, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
