KingFut

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Other than some brief coverage of their partnerships with Juventus and Stoke City, I was unable to find any other coverage that would allow this topic to pass WP:NWEB or WP:GNG. Spiderone 17:01, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete - no evidence of notability. GiantSnowman 17:45, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment - Beside that this was one of the first articles I've created here, I'm still not really aware what's wrong with it. KingFut are one of the most popular English-based websites that covers news about Egyptian and African football, and sometimes sports in general, and it's used in over 100 pages here on Wikipedia, so I don't think it would be a good idea to delete it here. I can of course try to improve it, but as I said I'm not really sure what's wrong with it. Thanks. Ben5218 (talk) 17:52, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
 * As per WP:INHERENTWEB, even web content that editors personally believe is "important" or "famous" is only accepted as notable if it can be shown to have attracted notice. No web content is exempt from this requirement, no matter what kind of content it is. If the individual web content has received no or very little attention from independent sources, then it is not notable simply because other web content of its type is commonly notable or merely because it exists. Also, many websites have been cited by others but don't necessarily meet Wikipedia standards on their own. Nobody is questioning whether KingFut is reliable. Its notability is what's being questioned. See JadranSport, Footballdatabase.eu and Soccerway. All fantastic websites but not notable enough for a Wikipedia article. If you wish for this to be kept, please find reliable, independent sources that discuss the impact and influence of KingFut. Spiderone  18:21, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Hmm, well obviously there are no articles that discusses such thing, even for other websites and not KingFut only. In this case, I guess these is nothing that can be done from my part. I'll accept the outcome of this discussion whether it was delete or keep, but personally I still believe that the reason mentioned above isn't enough for it to be deleted, so I'm voting to keep.

 * Weak keep, seems to have some notabilitiy and does have ties to relevant clubs.--Ortizesp (talk) 18:49, 22 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep there seems to be some coverage from secondary sources, and as already pointed out, it does have ties to notable clubs. LeBron4 (talk) 15:16, 29 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep. The article and sources include evidence of notability. gidonb (talk) 01:51, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
