Andorra national under-21 football team

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Is claimed that the Andorra national under-21 football team have never played a game before, which to me is good reason to not include this page Montchav 22:40, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: They actually played 2 matches last year. I have corrected the article, plus provided a reference which shows that just two matches have been played. Sʟυмgυм • т • c 18:04, 22 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Merge and redirect to Andorra national football team. Unlike most European national U21 teams, there is little information on Andorra U21, given the few matches they've played. It can be separated if necessary at a later date. Sʟυмgυм • т • c  09:56, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Weak keep - Not that notable but other European U21 teams have their own pages and I don't think drawing a line is possible. After all, Andorra are UEFA members and their U21 team does take part in UEFA U21 competitions so they (just about) deserve a page with the big boys, in my opinion. Qwghlm 10:22, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per above comment. StAnselm 10:42, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep as this team competes in the UEFA Under-21 championships. OK, so they might be rubbish, but we don't have a rule that the weaker teams that compete in the "over-21" European championships or the World Cup can't have articles, otherwise Andorra national football team itself wouldn't exist.  The fact that there is presently little info about the team is not a reason for deletion... ChrisTheDude 11:01, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - other teams have pages on their U-21 sides, why the bias against smaller, wekaer teams? GiantSnowman 11:31, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep The nominator thought the team hadn't played any matches, it's been clearly established that they have. Nick mallory 14:09, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge per Slumgum. Two matches (according to UEFA) is too little to justify a separate article, but as a notable, verifiable topic a section in Andorra national football team is appropriate. Oldelpaso 21:05, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep For the reasons given above. When other countries have articles for their U21 sides, so should Andorra no matter how poor a side they might or might not be. ♦Tangerines BFC ♦ · Talk 01:20, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Keep Keep As above. Elrith 01:41, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
