The result was keep per WP:SNOW. By the way, I went to see the New England Revolution beat the Chicago Fire to win the Eastern Conference championship on Thursday night. Yes, MLS teams are notable. Shalom (Hello • Peace) 02:24, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep - MLS has announced that Seattle is the location of the next expansion franchise, possibly playing in the 2009 season. I'll add a citation to the article. --D. Monack | talk 03:49, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - The article will grow as the talk about the expansion grows. There isn't much to talk about yet but it is just a start for the article. Gordomono 04:09, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep: Officially announced. One reliable source present, which seems appropriate for the little context currently in the article. - Rjd0060 04:29, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep at this point, it is almost certain to happen... thus not CrystalBalloonman 05:33, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep\Expand even if it fails to be included in the expansion, an expanded article on the history of this bid for the expansion would be a notable article. Macktheknifeau 05:49, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Reasons for deletion don't seem to apply at present. Maxamegalon2000 07:23, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. Barring the utter collapse of MLS, this looks as certain as anything can be. Speculation may enter the article but only if sourced. But the article itself is not speculative. --Dhartung | Talk 08:52, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. Plenty of sources have confirmed Seattle getting a MLS franchise in 2009 Soccernet, [SI, Yahoo, etc.  [[User:Patken4|Patken4]] 13:11, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
