Keep - teams at this level are considered notable as they are eligible for the national cup. Article needs improving, not deleting. Sources are there, see e.g. this. Giant Snowman 12:32, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@GiantSnowman: Am I mistaken thinking that WP:GNG applies here, because this fails WP:GNG? Andrew nyr (talk, contribs) 04:27, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your nomination says that you "cannot find non-primary sources", I have found one, and there are more out there. WP:BEFORE applies. Giant Snowman 10:38, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per :GiantSnowman.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 20:14, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - per this similar AfD. Even if this topic were to fail GNG, I can't think of a case where we have deleted an article for a club that meets the WP:FOOTYN standard of being eligible for a national cup (and I am aware that FOOTYN is an out-dated essay).
