Croatia national American football team

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

As far as I can tell the team does not actually exist as of September 2014. A Google search of local media only yields two results - one from January 2014 saying a decision was made to create the team (cited in our article), and another one from February 2014 saying a training camp for players intended to feature in the national team was cancelled due to low interest. Looks like a clear case of WP:CRYSTAL.  Timbouctou ( talk ) 09:58, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Significant coverage is certainly missing. I googled this in Croatian and found only a 2012 Nacional article saying the organization is planning to form such a team. Given the tempo, we need to give them some more time to achieve real-world notability, rather than appear to be promoting them. --Joy &#91;shallot&#93; (talk) 13:23, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete Too soon. In the meantime, there are almost no reliable secondary sources. Nwlaw63 (talk) 02:53, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:TOOSOON. GregorB (talk) 22:53, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - Non-notable "American football" national team of Croatia, which has never played a game, and it's unclear whether it will ever play a game. Putting aside issues of notability per WP:ORG, this is a clear case of WP:CRYSTAL: Wikipedia does not speculate about things which have not yet come to pass.
