FC Suðuroy

Article about a sports team that was founded just this January; unlikely to be notable. Stifle (talk) 15:44, 29 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Weak Keep for now. I dont know much about sports, but it seems there is a claim that this new team will be competeing in the "premier" league. If that is the same as the English premier leage, the besta one, (the NBA to basketball in USA) than its notable as any team that is part of any national sports best league....

 * Keep. The article about FC Suðuroy should NOT be deleted, because the football club is playing in the best division of the Faroe Islands 2010, the Vodafonedeildin. FC Suðuroy is the former VB/Sumba, which doen't excist anymore (it excist as FC Suðuroy) and which was a merge between VB Vágur and Sumba in 2005, but as I said, VB/Sumba has been replaced with the new name FC Suðuroy, named after the island Suðuroy (South Island). It can be compared with the Faroese football club Víkingur which is also a new football club, founded in 2008 (website: http://www.vikingur.fo/), a merge between the former GÍ Gøta and LÍF from Leirvík. FC Suðuroy can also be compared with the football club 07 Vestur, which was founded in 2007, it was earlier FS Vágar (these clubs are from the island Vágar, FS Vágar was a merge between the football clubs MB Miðvágur and SÍF Sandavágur), which was founded in 2004. 07 Vestur is now playing in 1. deild (second best divison). I don't understand why Wikipedia can't have an article about a football club which is in the Faroe Islands Premier League????? Is it not notable enough to be in the best division in Faroese football? I have seen several articles on Wikipedia about less important Faroese football clubs, which are not in the best division, so this doesn't give sence to me.

 * Keep - Playing in a country's top flight makes a team notable. DitzyNizzy (aka Jess) &#124; (talk to me) &#124; (What I've done)  23:21, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep - a team playing in the highest possible division in its country in the most popular spectator sport in the world is obviously notable, irrespective of its age. It's like claiming that the Charlotte Bobcats weren't notable in 2004 because they'd only been formed that year..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:57, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep notable team, playing in their country's national league. Eldumpo (talk) 08:48, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - Even if the Faroese league isn't very good, it remains a national top flight. As such, the clubs competing in it, including this one, are inherently notable. Sir Sputnik (talk) 16:31, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
