[edit] Bougainville national football team

Unverifiable. If such a team exists, it's non-notable; I'm unable to uncover any evidence whatsoever that this "national team" has any players or intends to play any games. Notably, the NF-Board's website makes no mention of such a team. Geoffrey Spear 12:29, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Even though it has an entry at national-football-teams.com, a site I like very much for information on obscure "national" football teams, the entry is empty. _└ ^OzLawyer / _talk ^┐ 17:23, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

• Comment most likely a hoax going by the author's other contributions eg User:Hoopydink/Antarctica national football team (which has been moved to user space for its novelty value) -- Mako 23:16, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Note too that Bouganville isn't a nation (it is part of PNG). So it wouldn't have a national football team. -- Mako 23:19, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

These things to happen. The Iroquoi have a national lacrosse team, for instance. WilyD 00:15, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Bougainville is probably a nation, but not a state. Punkmorten 08:09, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - certainly not a national team, and I'm not aware of the existence of a Bougainville team at all. Note that Bougainville may well become independent at some point in the future - there is a timetable for a referendum on independence in place - but right now is a province of PNG. -- Wantok 02:58, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
