Wallonia national football team

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

fails WP:V and WP:N, no reliable sources except a listing from their league indicating that they exist, no apparent sportive accomplishments, no media coverage to be found. When they have played a match the world knows about, we can restore. Stu.W UK (talk) 14:00, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. GiantSnowman 16:45, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete or, if the team really is of any significance, rename to Wallonia football team. Wallonia is a cultural region of Belgium. I lived in Belgium for 23 years and nobody thinks Wallonia is a nation.Alarics (talk) 16:07, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep and rename. I totally agree they're not a nation as stated by Alarics. They're still part of a notable league (Nouvelle Fédération-Board) - Mgm|(talk) 13:06, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Article could do with expansion/improvements but I'd say it was notable because of the NF membership. With regards to a rename it is worth pointing out that being a nation (Scotland, for instance) and a sovierign state (United Kingdom) is not the same thing. I think you could find quite a few Belgians who would tell you Wallonia was a nation. Having said that I'm not particularly opposed to a rename. Lord Cornwallis (talk) 20:53, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - completely non-notable, as is the whole of the Nouvelle Federation Board. No verifiable sources that such a team actually exists, let alone multiple non-trivial content in Reliable Sources. - fchd (talk) 16:30, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - like fchd, I don't believe any of the NF Board teams are notable and many, like this one, only seem to exist as theoretical concepts on paper -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 17:45, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete I can't find any significant coverage in independent sources per WP:N. In fact, I can't find any coverage of any matches that they may have played! Not notable, I afraid. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 20:14, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
