[edit] Southern Cameroon national football team

Southern Cameroon national football team (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

I'm just about to create a template for the AfDs of these "national" team articles, so here goes the short version: fails WP:V and WP:N, no reliable sources except a listing from their league indicating that they exist, no apparent sportive accomplishments, no media coverage to be found.

I'd say keep if they had actually played in the VIVA World Cup. However, they never fielded a team, so delete. When they play a game that the world can here about, we could keep them. --Madnessinshorts 21:31, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete. Southern Cameroon is not a nation. Cameroon is, and plays good soccer, I'm told. Also, the south of Cameroon does not have many english speakers because that area was French under the League of Nations mandate after 1919. The northern part was British. I suspect a hoax. --Bduke 01:50, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
Comment. I was wrong about the language. They are talking about the southern part of the old British mandate, the rest of which was in the North. It remains that this is not a national team, so even if it is notable, the name should be changed. --Bduke 08:29, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. this team has entered a notable tournament (even though they withdrew), which in my eyes makes them notable enough for an article. - MTC 06:57, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. As well as the VIVA World Cup (which visa issues prevented them from entering), they also took part in the UNPO Cup Superlinus 19:11, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Rename to Southern Cameroon football team as not a national team. However, it is a real team, real people, who failed to turn up at a real event, which in and by itself is a notable action. The fact that they have no FIFA sanctioned affiliations is irrelevant. --Bob 08:21, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per VIVA World Cup. м info 22:20, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
