Contested PROD due to the club playing at the second level, however this is not a fully professional league. The original concern has not been addressed (orphaned article with no references). No notability has been established. Cloudz 679 22:34, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Being a 'fully professional league' is not a notability requirement for clubs (we have a number of non-fully professional leagues where the clubs are notable in England, for example); this is a requirement for player notability. The current project guideline is at WP:FOOTYN (not an official standard it has to be noted, though). Frankly, whether this club played in their cup (before it was abolished) or their highest league I don't know. Consequently, I am staying my recommendation until I see the results of more research.

Sorry, you're completely right. FOOTYN's "fully professional leagues" is for players, how many times do people get that wrong?! However the reason for nomination was that it is an orphaned article with no references. A search for books and news (using the links above) returns no results. Even looking on RSSSF, there is no reference to this team. The article states that "They were relegated to Liga Mayor [third division] for the 2008/2009 season." however RSSSF has no teams by that name in either the 2008/09 season [1] or the one preceding it [2]. I have checked back to 05/06 and there is nothing. Really the question is "does this article meet the general notability guideline?" The answer appears to be no.

Delete. Non-notable team. Mattythewhite (talk) 14:42, 11 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - A quick Google search shows no evidence this club exists at all. If the creator of the article can provide evidence that the club exists, it would be easier to determine whether they are notable or not. However, as things stand, I stick with my delete.
