Trivial and non-notable. Fails WP:GNG. Also see WP:SPORTCRIT. Full of redlinks. Created as part of a large swath of pages by a single user who has since left. Zackmann08 (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 04:17, 13 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep National team that competes at World Championships deemed notable. Nomination, as 18bruce said, is in bad faith and patently false in places. Smartyllama (talk) 20:48, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep See afd discussion for the women's team. Since the men compete in competitions that have been recently deemed notable in AFD, that the women do not have an equivalent for, it seems a foregone conclusion. Additionally, saying that "Created as part of a large swath of pages by a single user who has since left," is untrue and should be either stricken out or completely ignored as irrelevent anyway. Thirteen articles is hardly a "swath", and some of them have been proven as a "keep" in AFD already.18abruce (talk) 21:50, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Smartyllama and 18abruce; as stated above this nomination is full of errors. Ejgreen77 (talk) 07:55, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per everyone above. National teams are notable especially as this one competes at the world championships. And as pointed out in a number of other nominations. WP:SPORTCRIT doesn't apply to teams which is says so explicitly. -DJSasso (talk) 12:12, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
