[edit] Real Tamale United

Not notable, very little information, and no sources. Yamakiri on Firefox 00:06, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Speedy keep. A professional football club in the top division of it's country is certainly notable enough. Source to club information on league website added. Patken4 00:12, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
Comment. I've added this to the list of deletions at WikiProject_Football deletion list. Patken4 00:16, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy keep per WP:OUTCOMES, top division football league is notable. Ten Pound Hammer • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps•Review?) 00:24, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep apparently a big deal in Ghana, as Google News pretty clearly shows. One All Africa article seems to be a 25-year history of the team. Notable enough. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 01:09, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
    • Note that this is a standard Keep vote and NOT a speedy keep. I have a feeling that more attention for this article would be a good thing, and perhaps it could be brought into decent shape by someone with knowledge of the topic. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 01:59, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy Keep This is a soccer team in a Sub-Saharan African "Premier" league, as the article states. I would assume that sports teams at the top level of the league in their respective countries are notable. If that isn't the case, we'd have to be deleting articles such as Manchester United or Chicago Bears based upon those notability standards. It, admittedly, is of relatively poor quality, but that is only because of systemic bias. The purpose of Wikipedia is to provide an encyclopedia that provides equally excellent coverage for all countries, therefore Real Tamale United meets any reasonable standard of notability.
