WorldNET[edit]

A football (soccer) tournament held between members of email lists for supporters of various teams. I am not sure a competition of such amateur status qualifies as being notable enough for WP (or else every Sunday league competition is also eligible). Delete.

Delete. Sounds like a well-organized but nonetheless amateur league. Google (massive query needed to make more specific and remove AT&T-related results) doesn't make this seem very significant. --Kinu 20:37, 6 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep (Original Author) Well known in the Internet mailing list based football supporters community, many of which consist of many hundreds of users most of whom do not participate directly in the event.

Keep Well known. --S iva1979^{Talk to me} 15:40, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep A known and serious tournament in real life. If a football competition is only notable by means of being "professional" (whereas "professionalism" is defined as being recognised by FIFA and its affiliates, such as The FA), without regards to its real-life seriousness, then I would say that this criteria of notability is being too narrow, a bit phony, and falling too much to FIFA's monopoly. --Pkchan 04:11, 11 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
