No secondary coverage. Completely non-notable. PeterTheFourth (talk) 09:55, 30 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Club has played in the national cup, which is generally deemed to make a club notable (see WP:FOOTYN). We have articles on all the other clubs playing in the second tier in Gibraltar (see Gibraltar Second Division). Number 5 7 10:19, 30 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Number 57: Do note that that's an essay. Notability for organisations and companies is a guideline, and WP:VERIFY is a policy. There is absolutely zero secondary coverage about this non-notable team, and there is no such thing as inherited notability. PeterTheFourth (talk) 12:13, 30 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm aware it's an essay, but it's also the result of multiple AfDs in which this was decided to be a reason for keeping articles on football clubs (see e.g. this, this, this, this etc; there are plenty more in the deletion archives if you want to check).

Sure, but Wikipedia policy is that we need some sort of source to write things about something. There are no simply no sources. PeterTheFourth (talk) 23:02, 30 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep As per users above and notability is there.700yuster (talk) 12:36, 30 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep though needs expansion; per 57, the national cup competition should qualify it DarjeelingTea (talk) 19:08, 30 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - with national cup appearances, clearly meets notability guidelines for clubs laid out in WP:FOOTYN. Nfitz (talk) 02:02, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
