No secondary coverage. Completely non-notable. PeterTheFourth (talk) 09:55, 30 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep Club has played in the national cup, which is generally deemed to make a club notable (see WP:FOOTYN). We have articles on all the other clubs playing in the second tier in Gibraltar (see Gibraltar Second Division). Number   5  7  10:19, 30 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Do note that that's an essay. Notability for organisations and companies is a guideline, and WP:VERIFY is a policy. There is absolutely zero secondary coverage about this non-notable team, and there is no such thing as inherited notability. PeterTheFourth (talk) 12:13, 30 December 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm aware it's an essay, but it's also the result of multiple AfDs in which this was decided to be a reason for keeping articles on football clubs (see e.g. this, this, this, this etc; there are plenty more in the deletion archives if you want to check). Number   5  7  12:27, 30 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Sure, but Wikipedia policy is that we need some sort of source to write things about something. There are no simply no sources. PeterTheFourth (talk) 23:02, 30 December 2016 (UTC)
