Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/A.D. Moma

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was close without decision. In light of the evidence raised by Neier, and with consideration that the votes were cast on the basis of the information that was available at the time, it would be better to re-examine these for the other concerns raised. If renominated, the articles should be nominated separately. Seraphim♥Whipp 16:49, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

That team don't exist.. you can see in [1] and [2]. That team is not listed in any level of Mozambique football leagues —Preceding unsigned comment added by Calapez (talk • contribs)

Late addition. I've bundled the above articles because they are all in the same league. ~ Eóin (talk) 00:27, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - I'm not even sure their supposed home ground (the National Arena de Moma) exists neither, it's not listed on the Worldstadiums reference given at the bottom of the page and the only ghits for the stadium (all 5 of them) are for Wiki pages. It may be worth listing that one too as an AfD. Bettia (talk) 11:57, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
I've nominated National Arena de Moma and all of the other stadium articles for deletion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Culturenga. ~ Eóin (talk) 00:43, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete as a hoax. A similar set of articles is also at Afd. (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/F.C. Prabis) ~ Eóin (talk) 00:43, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep based on the false assertion that the teams are hoaxes. The teams existed in the past. AD Moma, as recently as 2003. I was close to tagging these all in this AFD; but, there are sources at RSSSF which prove that the majority of these are not hoaxes. I am still on the fence about how notable each team is, but, they probably need to be taken one at a time, and not lumped together as a single hoax AFD. Neier (talk) 09:53, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Close and re-address - most of the editors above have !voted to delete on the grounds that these articles are hoaxes. The RSSSF links provided by Neier clearly show that this is not in fact the case, and to delete these articles now would be to do so based on spurious information. The AfD should be closed and then, if editors still feel these articles should be deleted, they should be renominated based on factors such as notability, etc ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:26, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
