 * Keep - apparently not a hoax. This team is affiliated with CONIFA which consists of a number of unofficial national teams, most of which have their own articles. (I'm aware of WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS.) If the consensus is to delete, then the article can be recreated after the team plays its first match. I've paraphrased some text lifted from another website and added a reference. — Jkudlick t c s 04:35, 16 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - no evidence of notability. GiantSnowman 17:55, 16 December 2015 (UTC)
 * no opinion on the team, but I have verified on the 1. FC Kleve homepage that the last player said to be playing for this national team exists and does indeed play at 1. FC Kleve (in the Regionalliga, the fourth or fifth league in Germany). --ObersterGenosse (talk) 01:11, 17 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete for now at best and restart when noticeably better and as there are too many concerns currently to suggest an acceptable article. SwisterTwister   talk  07:07, 17 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - A team cannot be notable if it has never played except in extreme circumstances. Could be notable if / when they play first match, but not guaranteed. If recreated should be titled Western Armenia official football team or somesuch. Fenix down (talk) 16:10, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - at the very least, this article is too soon. At the moment, it fails WP:GNG as there is a lack of third-party reliable sources Spiderone  21:17, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
