Republic of Saugeais national football team

 * — (View AfD)

Wikipedia is not for football teams of fictional nations invented in a restaurant one day. This team has no third-party coverage, indeed no verifiable sources at all that I could immediately find, and no apparent sportive accomplishments. Sandstein 22:46, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nomination. Edison 23:39, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
 * This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of football (soccer) related deletions. ChrisTheDude 00:12, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as quasi-fictitious team that has never played a match and whose existence is not verifiable. Qwghlm 00:17, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment, being an associate member of the NF-Board (see here) is, in my eyes, some sort of claim of notability, but I am concerned about the lack of third party sources. – Elisson • T • C • 01:28, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete I would say Merge this into its parent nation's article, however there isn't anything verifiable here to merge. However, if somebody feels differently, consider my vote a merge vote instead.  skrshawk  (  Talk  |  Contribs  ) 04:18, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment The parent "nation" doesn't have an article to merge anything into anyway.... ChrisTheDude 07:51, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes they do, Republic of Saugeais, but there isn't anything verifiable to merge. Sandstein 08:53, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
 * My mistake, I'd clicked on the link within the article on the football team, which was piped to point to Saugeais rather than Republic of Saugeais..... ChrisTheDude 09:07, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment So does Saugeais exist? If not, it can't have a national team!--Osidge 12:57, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. When they have played a game that the world can be informed about, we can restore the page. --Madnessinshorts 21:35, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
 * rename as FÉDÉRATION SAUGETTE DE FOOTBALL and leave a redirect at Republic of Saugeais national football team because:

The federation of Saugeais is a member of the NF-Board with an adresse and a president see: http://www.fedefutbol.net/ and see: http://www.nf-board.com/en3.htm Till now it has no team and has never played, so an article about Republic of Saugeais national football team is too early. --Rheinländer 00:37, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep as it is an associate member of the Nouvelle Fédération-Board. --Number 57 17:36, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
