Non-notable sporting club with no significant independent coverage and no indication of notability. The only sources are the club's website and a 2004 list of 102 Swedish football clubs. Mdtemp ( talk) 21:17, 9 February 2015 (UTC) reply

• Keep. As noted above, the article is referenced, and the team having played in the top division of Swedish women's football (albeit at a time when it was a smaller phenomenon than today, 1980-81) should be sufficient to establish notability. Tomas e ( talk) 11:19, 10 February 2015 (UTC) reply

It has no significant independent coverage--just its own website and somebody's list of Swedish football teams. Existing is not the same as notable. Mdtemp ( talk) 20:36, 10 February 2015 (UTC) reply

• Keep - per WP:FOOTYN, consensus is that teams that have competed in a national competition are notable. This team has competed at the highest level of competition in their country. Fenix down ( talk) 18:01, 11 February 2015 (UTC) reply
• Keep as above, has played at a sufficiently high enough level. Needs improving, not deleting. Giant Snowman 19:12, 11 February 2015 (UTC) reply
• Keep The women's soccer team has played in the Swedish top division. J 1982 ( talk) 09:01, 13 February 2015 (UTC) reply
• Keep - how would team playing in top national league not be notable? Oh, because it's female? #fail Nfitz ( talk) 15:50, 15 February 2015 (UTC) reply
• Keep Article definitely needs work, but WP:FOOTYN appears to be met. Papaursa ( talk) 17:32, 15 February 2015 (UTC) reply
