 * Delete a country sub-division can't have a national team. Enter CambridgeBayWeather, waits for audience applause, not a sausage 12:20, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. Of course it can.  Nation can refer to a country, or a group of people. For example, Canada recognizes Quebec as a nation; Quebec has a national assembly, national archives, a national holiday - and if it had a provincial soccer team it would be a national football team.  That doesn't make this team notable though - it just invalidates your delete reason.  Of course Wales is another excellent example. Nfitz (talk) 21:16, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete unless sources can be found. It is not a member of the Nouvelle Fédération-Board, which regulates national teams like Zanzibar, Kurdistan etc which are not independenent countries but organize national teams. I can't find any sources that attest to existence. Just to correct you Cambridge, Cabinda is more than a subdivision, it was the site of a secessionist movemenet for decades. Think of it like more like Kurdistan--TM 13:08, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete due to lack of sources. This would probably be a worthwhile article if sources could be found, but currently there's no evidence it even exists. -- zzuuzz (talk) 14:24, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
