The result was keep. Not sure why this was renominated. Clear consensus to keep very recently with multiple international sources provided. No indication this discussion will produce a different outcome. Fenix down ( talk) 09:57, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

Nominated 3 months for concerns about it simply being a local YouTube-active team and no signs for actually satisfying the applicable footballers notability which is how we base these subjects, and even GNG itself as the sources are simply local news stories and announcements. As always, simply because it was considered for keep, it's enough time for improvements, even minimal ones, to be made and none happened. SwisterTwister talk 20:32, 6 January 2017 (UTC)

- Keep - clear failure of football-related notability, but surprisingly meets GNG based on articles like these (non-local and in-depth): [1] [2] [3] —Мандичка YO 😜 04:30, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

- Keep – Meets Wikipedia's General notability guideline per available sources, which are not local; several have national distribution. As such, WP:AUD is also met. See sources below and descriptions of those sources (bold emphasis mine). If a topic meets GNG, whether or not it meets a subject-specific notability guideline (also referred to as secondary notability guidelines) is generally moot.
- Also, topic notability is not based upon whether or not articles are improved or not. For additional information regarding this reasoning, see WP:NOEFFORT. North America 1000 08:14, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
