 * Keep. I'm not sure how the nominator can in good faith claim this club never existed. The article states it won the Angola championship in 1943, and cites the reliable source RSSSF: the club is listed under the name at which the page was created, Sport Benguela e Benfica, from which the nominator has moved it. Suggest that when this AfD closes, the page is moved back to the original name. As to notability, any football club playing or having played (notability is not temporary) at the top national level in its country is considered notable: this one won the national championship. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 08:44, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - per Struway, club has won a national championship, is notable per WP:FOOTYN with a nod to WP:NTEMP. Fenix down (talk) 08:48, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - as above; needs improving, not deleting. GiantSnowman 17:39, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - The article is in a right state, but the notability of the club is satisfied. Improve, not delete. – PeeJay 11:34, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
