[edit] Somaliland national football team

Somaliland national football team (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

An unverifiable article that is also almost a {{db-empty}} candidate. If this football team exists at all - there are no immediately googleable sources, and none are provided - they are quite certainly non-notable for lack of third-party coverage. Sandstein 20:06, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

• Delete I Googled Somaliland national football team and there is such a thing. On the site, it does not appear that they have had any matches since there are none recorded and there is only one respectable site there. Wikipedia comes before the other site when Googled. But since it has no information that you can even get on it and Wiki is not a crystal ball, I would say Delete for now and once they get stats and viable information then the editor can bring it back.

• Delete. When they have played a game that the world can be informed about, we can restore the page. --Madnessinshorts 21:33, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

• Delete, no official recognition and no games played. Qwghlm 22:58, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep, the Somaliland national football team is a full member of NF-Board and they have played a noteworthy match. This is an African Football stub and needs completion not deletion --Rheinländer 05:33, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Referring to a match against an Ethiopian Army XI as noteworthy seems a tad generous.... ChrisTheDude 08:27, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep, full member of NF-Board; I assume the team will play more games once the area is stable. м info 05:24, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep - The Somaliland entity is an existing nation, yet unrecognized. Whoever launched this crusade against the NF-board seems not to recognize the difference between 'fictional nation' and 'unrecognized nation'. --Joffeloff 17:02, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
