[edit] Southwest Florida Manatees

Non-notable soccer team. Google gives few results, and their playing record isn't too large. Kalani ^[talk] 04:06, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

• Comment If this particular article were to be deleted, I would think many of the articles about teams in Category:United States soccer clubs (defunct) would need to be on the chopping block as well. This category, however, seems to be a rather important part of the history of soccer in the U.S. There were many professional teams that only played a couple of seasons because various leagues folded. In this sense, any professional soccer team in the U.S. asserts it's notability simply by having existed in the first place. --Wine Guy Talk 09:55, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per my comment above. --Wine Guy Talk 09:58, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
• Conditional Keep on the basis that the article further ascertains notability and makes it clear that the manatees are a now-defunct professional soccer team. Also, a bit about their league and a link to the Wikipedia article would be necessary as well. Per Wine Guy, the team is important in terms of the evolution of the sport in the US hoopydink^{Conas tá tú?} 15:04, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
