 * Keep. The standard for notability for a football team, is usually whether they play (or at least are eligble) in their national cup.  And this team does, and has played in several competitions, mosty recently in 2006/07.  As such I'd think that all teams in this league - the second tier of Libyan football - would be notable (which probably explains why they ALL have articles). Nfitz (talk) 01:53, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Are there individual standards for sports teams? I couldn't find any. I'd be grateful if you could point me in their direction, and if that is the base standard I'll be happy to withdraw the nomination. Ironholds (talk) 09:07, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
 * There's an essay WP:FOOTYN that has a standard on club notability. However it is just an essay, so it's not binding; other than that there are the other AfD's in the past ... and I wish I could think of an easy way to search them ... though I note that every team in this division has an article.
