Singa Mwambe

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Contested PROD. Initial rationale was "No WP:SIGCOV located on a search. Kept finding stuff about an orchestra, and even when I added "Linafoot" I got nothing but WP mirrors."

De-PROD rationale was "given that this club played at the highest possible level in DR Congo, SIGCOV must exist per the longstanding unofficial guideline used at WP:FOOTYN. I can't find any, though."

This absurd argument is based on a complete misreading of FOOTYN, which says "Per Wikipedia:Notability (sports)#Teams, teams are required to meet the general notability guideline." It goes on to say that the unofficial guideline "may indicate at what level teams generally" meet GNG. It does not say that "SIGCOV must exist" for such teams, nor that we must assume that it does in the absence of any evidence. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 20:12, 19 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment - played in the national cup here. As per WP:FOOTYN, this is commonly seen as a benchmark for notability. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 21:36, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
 * As per FOOTYN, which I've already quoted, teams are required to meet GNG. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 23:34, 19 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete - I can't find anything to suggest this club is notable. When I search for football clubs from Kisangani, I can find coverage on two clubs (TS Malekesa and AS Nika). If this club was notable, you would think there should be readily available coverage on it too. Jogurney (talk) 14:04, 20 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Actually, when I searched for "OC Singa Mwambe," some trivial coverage like this is available. Still, I don't see anything to suggest notability. Jogurney (talk) 14:10, 20 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete - no evidence of notability. GiantSnowman 07:08, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
