Maasai national football team
AfDs for this article: 
 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This page is about a football team who have never played. They are not notable, the only link provided is self published by someone who is a member of the NF-Board (the association who claims this non-team as a member). This link mentions the publisher's membership of the Board. Debatably this contravenes WP:COI and WP:CBALL but it definitely fails WP:N. This article was previously deleted, so would nominate for speedy deletion, but as PROD template was removed I feel it would be contested. Stu.W UK (talk) 01:09, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Speedy Delete' as re-creation of deleted material, and as no sources can actually prove this team does exist as anything more than a vague concept in some people's heads. - fchd (talk) 05:56, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as non-notable team - if it even exists! GiantSnowman 10:27, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep In the official website of NF-Board it's stated Maasai membership since 25.03.2006 Calapez (talk) 13:07, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. Being one of the fantasy football teams in the NF-Board walled garden isn't any sort of evidence of notability. The board itself is simply a self-appointed group of people who claim to represent the unrepresented nations without any evidence that they have any support from those nations, and its article only survived AfD because of a couple of silly season press articles.

 * Delete, possibly recreate if the team ever actually moves from existing on paper to playing an actual match -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 13:12, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NFT. This "board" and all its "teams" are simply a joke that's gone on too long to be funny any more. Phil Bridger (talk) 17:20, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
