Tobago official football team

 * – ( View AfD View log )

PROD was contested. Claim that it is a national team when Tobago is not actually a nation. Claim that references establish at least a minimum for notability. Comment Thought a discussion should be established as there are obviously conflicting thoughts about its notability. Delusion23 (talk) 16:11, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete - not a national team, merely representative one which has no formal affiliation and which has only played in five unofficial friendlies in a decade - I'd say this is of similar note to celebrity teams which play for charity i.e. not very! GiantSnowman 16:43, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment. I declined the proposed deletion, mostly because I did think that it was worth some public comment.  The references do appear to confirm its existence, and while not a "national" team, it does claim to represent a substantial community.  It does seem to have been only occasionally active. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 17:09, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep - It's an independent football team. Pelmeen10 (talk) 15:19, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. It isn't a national team, merely a representative one. My county of birth has a representative team, but having a separate article for it wouldn't be justified because it just isn't notable enough. There is a section for it here which I think is acceptable. I'd recommend a similar arrangement for this team. Argyle 4 Life  talk  03:54, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete No evidence that the body selecting this team has any widespread authority, and so the team has no grounds to claim that it is representative. Kevin McE (talk) 20:00, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
