2017 Sabah FA season

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Stats page that was a contested PROD last year but no rationale was provided. I still don't see how this meets WP:GNG. It is cited entirely to blogs and a now-dead stats website. For reference, the coverage cited was like this for each match, so no significant analysis or even a basic match report, just stats. I chose two matches at random to see if I could find a match report but was unsuccessful. For Kuantan v Sabah, I found Sofascore and Besoccer. For Perlis v Sabah, I found the same sources as above again and also Live Result and Soccerway.

This is basic, bare minimum stats coverage that any football game receives and is not at all indicative of significant coverage which is required to address the topic directly and in significant detail. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 08:52, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

 * I don't think it should be deleted. While i agree the sources are not proper cited, Sabah FA is one of the top football team in Malaysia and currently play in top tier of Malaysian league, i think it's significant enough to have a record for their 2017 season. They even reached quarter-final in FA Cup that season. It just need a proper cited sources, which are greatly available on proper news website. manarianz5 (talk) 04:46, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
