Georgia national under-17 football team

I almost speedied this as an A1. I really have no idea what this article is trying to be about. It consists of an ambiguous title, a small table of statistics (which are all zero), and an improperly configured infobox. It appears to be a statistics list for a national teenager football season that hasn't even started yet. I think it can safely be deleted. Snotty Wong  babble 17:42, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete due to lack of content. However, I don't see the problem with the title. Georgia (U.S. state) is not an entity that can have national teams, so it must refer to Georgia (country). And football in the context of Georgia (country) must be association football, not American football or another football code. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 00:19, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm changing my recommendation to neutral because the article has since been improved. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 21:37, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep - article needs improving, not deleting. Name is fine as well, it meets standard conventions. GiantSnowman 21:09, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - I'm with Snowman on this. I'll agree that the article is poorly written, but the subject is quite clearly notable. Sir Sputnik (talk) 21:11, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. It is about a European country's national under-17 association football team, just like all the others in Category:European national under-17 association football teams. The table refers to the 2011 UEFA European Under-17 Football Championship elite round, a qualification tournament for the 2011 U-17 championship, which will kick off in March (hence the zeroes). Per current convention the title is not an issue (see Georgia national football team) and if the two potentially ambiguous words are a problem ("Georgia" and "football") the matter should be taken elsewhere. The article has potential for expansion, perhaps by adding something about Georgia U-17's record in previous European championships and a squad list. '' Timbouctou 21:17, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep The subject is notable, and the article seems to have been significantly improved which hopefully satisfies the nominator's concerns. J Mo 101 (talk) 12:17, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
