Delete. It has been used as a reference by The Guardian, but I didn't see enough to show notability. Merge somewhere? OhioShmyo (talk) 14:32, 29 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I don't mind the article, I see nothing against it, however it kinda violates on WP:NOTDIR grounds. Govvy (talk) 16:14, 29 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - no evidence of notability. Giant Snowman 19:41, 29 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. not enough coverage to pass general notability guidelines. Rondolinda (talk) 20:31, 29 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment on preserving content - User:Govvy has me thinking - could we use the research already accumulated on the page (which shows the website is not notable per GNG but still seen as reputable as worth quoting by soccer historians) as a rationale to include a link to the website as a high quality WP:External link on a soccer-related Wikipedia page, maybe history of association football? A redirect to that page might be appropriate as well if it does end up being mentioned in some manner. OhioShmyo (talk) 15:00, 2 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Does not have enough citations. Webmaster862 (talk) 09:27, 4 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
