Speedy deletion per WP:G4 was declined on the grounds that it's been eight years since the last AfD, which fair enough. The underlying notability concerns remain the same though. There's nothing here that confirms that the team even exists, let alone meets WP:GNG. Sir Sputnik (talk) 01:12, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Speedy delete and salt. This has been deleted six times now and still there is nothing hinting this is anything other than a hoax. Last time it was deleted under G11, but it might as well qualify for G3. Why G4 was declined forcing this through AFD again is beyond me as it is very obvious it's merely delaying the obvious action.Tvx1 02:10, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete per WP:CSD as virtually identical to iteration deleted as result of prior AFD. The single source offers no significant (barely detectable) coverage. At any rate delete per not notable, whether we establish hoax or not. Dloh cierekim  03:26, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Wait a minute before to say "Majuro delenda est"I'm the author of the last incarnation of this article. Sorry, but I didn't know anything about this discussion or that this article was deleted six time. For the firts I want to say that I didn't write this article for to produce an hoax or a fakenews. I traslated this article from a foreign wikipedia article and I made this operation quoting the source of the original article, while I was looking for other sources on the net, but you started the speedy delete before I could finish my research. So I don't know if you have already found it but, for example, there is an article from an encyclopedia: The Complete Guide National Symbols and Emblems by James Minahan that says only that exists a football team in Marshall Islands. I wouldn't have created this article if I was not sure about existence of this team. Maybe with a in-depth research it's possible to find something else.FootKalos1597 (talk) 07:10, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks, but that's really not in-depth coverage sufficient to over-turn the prior AfD. Might I suggest finding coverage, citing/drafting the article at home, and when it looks acceptable submitting at Articles_for_Creation. Dloh cierekim  13:15, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
