Keep Samsung has been a major sponsor of teams in a wide variety of sports for at least 35 years. This book devotes at least four pages to that program, especially the company's recent involvement in the Olympic Games. Here's another book that also devotes four pages to the topic.Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 05:32, 23 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete—The concept of Samsung's sponsorship of sport teams and athletic events is notable, but this article is barely about that. In fact, the article is somewhat confusing... the lede says that Samsung Sports is a multi-sport club, but doesn't state at all which parts of a multi-sport club this one has. The rest of the article just lists teams that Samsung sponsors. An article on Samsung's sports marketing strategy (using the sources found by Cullen) would be interesting (or expansion of the existing Samsung article using this material). But this article isn't about that - despite its title - and this article should be deleted. Livit⇑^Eh?/_What? 15:09, 6 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - The sources found by Cullen establish notability. If the article is poorly written, it should be rewritten, not deleted. --Cerebellum (talk) 01:04, 14 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
