 * Keep - As the creator of this article i don't think that it should be deleted. This article is about a small football club in Egypt which is currently playing in the Egyptian Second Division, the second tier in the Egyptian football league system, and due to the lack of sources I couldn't add more info to this article. Once i find any sources about the club history, current squad and other info i'll immediately add it to the article. Ben5218 (talk) 14:38, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
 * lack oif sources is a pretty good indication that a subject is not notable. per WP:GNG -- Aunva6talk - contribs 15:03, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
 * What lack of sources - a quick Google News shows thousands. Looks like a WP:BEFORE failure. Nfitz (talk) 04:49, 7 May 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep - participated in the 2016 Egypt Cup thus meeting the club notability criteria of WP:FOOTYN. I don't know where user:aunva6 comment of lack of sources comes from - a quick look in Google News shows thousands of articles. Also, from a simple common sense perspective - does it really seem likely that a league that is only one level below fully-professional would actually be so low-quality that the teams themselves wouldn't be notable?

 * i was not aware of footyn... i only knew of WP:NSPORT and WP:ORG. besides, i just looked at google news, and I fail to see these results you're talking about... -- Aunva6talk - contribs 04:52, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Did you click on the link I provided above? I literally see thousands of hits (though I didn't page past the first two pages). Nfitz (talk) 13:13, 7 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep - per above, appears notable. However please notee that WP:FOOTYN is an old WikiProject-specific guide, it hasn't been updated in years really. GiantSnowman 09:49, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
 * It may not have been updated in a while - but it reflects the long-standing consensus here - that teams that have played in a national-level cup are notable. I don't see anything that needs updating - and anyone can update if they feel it is out of date. But do we really expect the 2nd-highest level of football, and first non-fully professional level of football in a football-mad country like Egypt not to be notable?

 * Keep - Has played in national competition. Current consensus in AfD still aligns to statements made in WP:FOOTYN. Fenix down (talk) 09:34, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
