Plays in the Cypriot Third Division, which is not a fully professional league. Fails WP:FOOTYN as third division sides play in a lower tier domestic cup tournament. Vanadus (talk | contribs) 03:10, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete - the nominator is slightly confused - not being a member of a professional league is NOT reason to delete; in fact, we have plenty of teams who play in low amateur levels. However, there is little evidence that this particular team is notable. GiantSnowman 17:13, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep per new evidence from Deserter1, meets WP:FOOTYN. Needs massive improvement though. GiantSnowman 22:35, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

*Delete What's to delete? There is virtually no content. Nipson anomhmata  (Talk) 20:19, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep as noted by GiantSnowman even though there is still no content!  Nipson anomhmata   (Talk) 00:26, 22 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete - There is no evidence of notability and almost no content. Sir Sputnik (talk) 14:55, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - Article certainly requires improvement, but for me the club is notable. They have played in the Cyprus Cup and the Cyprus Second Division (most recently in 05/06 ). The club also has a profile on stats websites like soccerway  and weltfussballarchiv .  Deserter 1  20:53, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment (also see below). I don't see any evidence of notability.  I couldn't find anything in a Google search other than hits mentioning the club's existence and various mediocre stats.  I don't see anything satisfying WP:FOOTYN in the references provided by Deserter1; please indicate precisely which sources meet this requirement so we don't accidentally overlook something useful.

 * The WP:FOOTYN guidelines on club notability state: "All teams that have played in the national cup... are assumed to meet WP:N criteria". As I mentioned above, this team has competed in the national cup of Cyprus in recent years; the RSSSF links confirm this. Deserter 1   talk   12:56, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
 * OK, thanks. I'll withdraw my "delete" !vote on this basis.  I do recommend adding more material to the article, including a clear indication in the text (cited to a suitable source) confirming that the team has played in the Cyprus national cup.
