[edit] SK Hakoah Malmö

Non-notable minor amateur football club playing in level 8 of the Swedish football pyramid. As a comparison, English football clubs are only considered notable if playing in level 10 or above, and England has about five times more players than Sweden. – Elisson • Talk 15:26, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

• Could you provide a link that confirms them playing at level 8, since one is not found in the article? Punkmorten 19:31, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Swedish FA - Division 6 table, Division 6 in this case means level 8 as the Swedish league system starts with Allsvenskan, Superettan, and then Division 1. It should also be noted that there are 6 fourth level leagues, 12 fifth level leagues, ≈30 sixth level leagues, ≈50 seventh level leagues and then ≈70 eight level leagues... – Elisson • Talk 20:14, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep this article. The club is an important part of the history of the Jews in Sweden and is as well a social club that doesn't just have an amateur football club. Part of the Maccabi World Union it is a good resource to find information on such clubs history, see SC Hakoah Wien for instance. Please don't delete this article. Why do you think it is in the Maccabi category? So we wouldn't go through this with our clubs. This is also a great resource for people who are looking for information on them when most information is in Swedish. NYC2TLV 21:51, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Sorry, I can't see how this club is an important part of the history of Jews in Sweden. Care to explain? And being a social club doesn't make it notable. And being part of a category does also not make it notable. And the article being in English when most information on the club is in Swedish does also not make it notable. – Elisson • Talk 20:14, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete No verifiable evidence of notability. More reliable sources needed to show the importance. Edison 20:52, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Notable in its own write, Jewish clubs are historically important to their communities and the shaping of these communities in the diaspora. Each on has a specific geography and importance to the developement of each community. I would even go as far to suggest that the entire hierarchy of Swedish football (every club listed) be allowed to be on Wiki since they are difficult to find information about them/their backgrounds and histories.SpeechFreedom 18:38, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Still no source whatsoever that this particular club has been notable in the Swedish Jewish community in any way. And no, not every damn club in the Swedish football system should have an article on Wikipedia. That'd be madness. To the closing admin, note that this user has exactly zero edits since late June, until this AfD. – Elisson • T • C • 20:00, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as it stands the article does not assert the club's claim to notability. Qwghlm 20:51, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Several divisions below the professional level, fails WP:V. Oldelpaso 21:35, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Per reasons above. Also there is speculation in past Afds that the two supporters of this article, SpeechFreedom and NYC2TLV are the same person. HornetMike 00:48, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - far too far down the food chain to be notable. BlueValour 03:31, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - reason as per Qwghlm, above --MLD 12:32, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - Jewishness alone does not equal notability. As the club is non-notable in every other way the article should go. aLii 17:50, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
