[edit] Al Wefaq Sabratah

author removed my prod and said why on the article's talk page but article still shows no honors and only two notable players. To me, that means not notable. If the article is rewritten to show why it is notable, I would have no problem if it was to stay on wiki but as it is now, nothing shows it as wiki worthy Postcard Cathy 02:05, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

  • I'm not sure if I'm allowed to comment since I originated the article, but the WP:Football team has held that other football clubs similar to Al Wefaq are notable. The discussion here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Football/Notability) concludes that "A club is definitely notable if it meets any of the following criteria...Have featured at any time in their country's top division..." If I can vote, then count me for keep. If not, my apologies. Jogurney 02:26, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment: Input from the creator of the article is certainly appropriate and welcome. Newyorkbrad 03:10, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

  • Weak keep. It appears to be Wikipedia precedent (and is mentioned in the discussion Jogurney linked to) that current and former Premier League teams in other countries are notable. If that's the case, this team's notable too. If possible, it'd be nice to see more sources; does the article creator have any hard-copy sources, such as news articles about the team from Libyan papers? (I'm guessing there aren't a lot of online sources for a team from Libya.) --Charlene 09:26, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - even at their second division status they would be notable enough. Their time in the Premier Division makes it no contest in my opinion. - fchd 10:58, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep- former top flight team, and notable enough at 2nd division level anyway. Someone should find out what their kits look like though. King of the North East 11:56, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
  • When I saw the AFD tag on this article, I thought "the nominator better provide a good reason for requesting deletion". This nomination, however, did not even come close to this expectation. The article already shows notability, so keep. Punkmorten 12:33, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Their time in the top league in Libya makes this an easy keep. Davewild 19:20, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep as per Davewild. ♦Tangerines BFC ♦·Talk 17:15, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
