• Delete, not without evidence it's playing at a notable league level, it isn't. --Dhartung | Talk 02:21, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
• Keep This club is a member of the Northern League Premier Division, which is a notable soccer league in New Zealand. It is thus vital to keep this article. Moreover, all the other league clibs in this league have their own articles as well. --Siva1979^{Talk to me} 02:55, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
• Keep per Siva1979 Giggy _U^CP 03:53, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
• Keep appears to be a notable team in a notable league. It is in desperate need of expansion, however. Resolute 04:21, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

• Keep per Siva1979. Number 57 08:16, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. Every other team in the same league has an article that isn't up for deletion, so why shouldn't Mangere United? If there are individual articles for teams playing in the North West Counties League Division 2; why not for this league, which is at a higher level? --Steve Farrell 17:27, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. The article did not indicate why the club is notable. I have added a little text + refs to assert notability. Note that it is playing in the Northern League 1st Division this year[1] and not the Northern League Premier League. In the absence of a national league (as I understand the situation[2]), the Northern League 1st Division presumably represents level 2 in New Zealand, which ought be sufficient for notability. The article does need more work though. --Malcolmxl5 18:22, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

P.S. The template needs updating, of course. --Malcolmxl5 18:27, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

There is a national league, but it is run on a syndicated basis - NL Div 1 id therefore the third level on NZ soccer, and, given the number of teams in the second and third flights in NZ soccer, this ranks Mangere United in New Zealand's top 50 soccer clubs. Oh, and keep, BTW. Grutness...wha? 01:13, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the clarification. --Malcolmxl5 23:59, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

• Keep, Notability is now asserted. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps)))} 00:13, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Google News Archive indicates that this team achieves some coverage. [3]
