Iraq national under-17 football team results

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Historical results of the under-17 team are hardly verifiable compared to results of senior national teams. Considering the (relative) lack of significant coverage, both for the scope of the list and its entries, this seems to fail WP:LISTN and WP:NOTDIRECTORY (Wikipedia is not a directory of everything in the universe that exists or has existed).

 * Delete - lack of independent coverage. Also as per strong consensus at the Bhutan AfD and Philippines AfD. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 14:52, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

I understand where this discussion is coming from. However, all the official tournaments like the AFC U17 Asian Cup or U17 World Cup are documented and verifiable. See: https://www.fifa.com/tournaments/mens/u17worldcup/brazil2019 or https://www.the-afc.com/en/national/afc_u17_asian_cup.html. So I dont fully agree with the argument that it's not verifiable.

 * Official tournaments are another matter: there is evidently enough coverage of each specific tournament (as an event) to ascertain their notability, and so each edition has its own article. However, the comprehensive set of matches of the Iraqi U17 team, which as outlined here and in the previous AfDs (thanks for the links, ), lacks significant coverage and fails NLIST/NOTSTATS.
