Netumbo Amoya

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

In mid-January, a spate of new articles were created by Hporion and Encephalon2 relating to Mozambique football. One of them also created an obviously fake article about a Japanese football team, which I PROD'd and has since been deleted. Info about most of the pages created by this duo is hard to come by; however, history at RSSSF shows that some of the teams did at one point exist, and performed well. In the face of the obvious troll wrt Japanese teams, I'm struggling with how to treat the entirety of these contributions. Two similar articles were deleted in January at AFD; but, the fact that a few of the articles have a basis in truth seems to forbid a blanket deletion. For these three, the team they allegedly play for may have been in the top-level several years back, but, it looks like they are not now, and per the WP:FOOTY guidelines, playing for the team currently in a lower division does not meet the requirements for inclusion. I am also nominating the following related pages: Neier (talk) 11:43, 4 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment: I'm a little confused by the chronology here. These players joined the team after it was demoted to a lower division? — Quasirandom (talk) 17:26, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
 * It looks like most of the team pages created are in the 2nd division (non-English PDF link. I have no idea if they are fully professional or not, but, AFAIK even the non-fullpro teams which play in a nation's top-level league still pass the criteria here. Some of the team pages created were at one time in the top division, but, scanning RSSSF in more detail, I can't see where Catedral de Quelimane (misnamed as Catedral Quelimane on the players' pages) has been in the top division since 1990, if at all.
