 * Keep. This is a plausible list as this is a top-level national football league. This is just one of many such lists (see Category:Lists of football (soccer) clubs) and, although this won't be a massive list, there's no reason why this couldn't be tidied up to a half decent standard.

 * Keep Defined list of a notable topic. Redlinks do not equal non-notable.  Lugnuts  (talk) 06:45, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete I agree that this would need to be tidied up even to reach the standard of "half decent". At the moment, it's a pretty mediocre page.  If someone would be willing to write an article about soccer in American Samoa (which, by the way, is not a nation), and make a list as part of that article, that would be fine, but this doesn't really add to the sum of human knowledge.

 * Comment American Soma is a nation, at least according to FIFA. They're ranked joint 203rd and last in the FIFA rankings.  Lugnuts  (talk) 15:01, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
 * In the same sense that Puerto Rico is a nation, I suppose. It would be possible for someone to rely upon the FIFA and the RSSSF sources to make it something more than a slapdash list.   Mandsford (talk) 17:41, 26 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep - per Lugnuts. Additionally, Mandsford, poor quality is not a reason for deletion, just for improvement. matt91486 (talk) 01:27, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep, defined list as part of a set of lists per Category:Lists of football (soccer) clubs, systemic bias says keep this list. If it is good enough to have a list of a clubs in a country ranked 202, it should be good enough for a country ranked 203.-- Club Oranje T 09:06, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. Needs refs, but notability is given. Nageh (talk) 08:46, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
