The result was   Keep This was a procedural nomination, so I feel WP:SNOW applies, especially given that I was the editor who bundled this into another AfD in the first place. The article still needs third-party sources, but amid all the "it's useful" !votes I've found a couple actual sources which have me convinced that this is notable. Non-admin closure.

This article was bundled in with my nomination of Rec.sport.soccer by another editor. In the interest of clarity, I have unbundled this article and put it up for it's own discussion. Otherwise, I abstain for now. DarkAudit (talk) 23:26, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep rsssf is the single most important website for football statistics. Yes the references could be improved, but the site definitely deserves a mention. It is used as an reliable reference/external link on hundreds of football related Wikipedia articles. (comment copied from yesterdays other nomination) E  P  08:16, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep It operates as an organisation, with a board and a published charter.  It might operate largely in USENET, but it is more than simply a bit of USENET space.  Kevin McE (talk) 08:40, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Important, notable, well-known. I think this is going to be a PRETTY clear win for Keep, with not one single vote for Delete. ®∂бЯέЩ§τЄґ  ♪  ♫  ♪  08:42, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep Has a couple of citations; an article from The Times (London) that addresses the subject directly and a reference in a book that says, "This is the best informational site, an awesome international soccer archive that is the most complete statistical soccer page existing." Good enough for at least a stub. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 23:55, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
