X-star Khueannai United F.C.

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A fifth-tier amateur Thai football club founded in 2015, references in the article are to seemingly unreliable sources, of them two being YouTube videos, one being a Facebook link and none being inline. Doesn't seem to satisfy WP:GNG, WP:ORG and—although it's an essay—WP:FOOTYN. Regards, SshibumXZ (talk · contribs). 00:55, 16 September 2018 (UTC); edited 01:02, 16 September 2018 (UTC).

 * going by Google's machine-made translation of those links: the first one seems like a fluff piece and a PR interview, not to mentio, the source doesn't seem to be a reliable one; the second one is a press release by the Thai government, not enough stuff but still can be counted; and the third one seems to be both unreliable and not very informative.

 * Addendum — The fourth link is to a YouTube video, citing those is generally discouraged on Wikipedia. Regards, SshibumXZ (talk · contribs). 08:21, 16 September 2018 (UTC)
 * SshibumXZ Youtube video is not PR interview. It is Public local news. Ubon Ratchathani TV Aquaelfin (talk) 9:14, 16 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Comment: There's a bit of in-depth coverage by SupersubThailand.com, which isn't a major website, but as far as I've seen the quality of their reporting isn't too shabby. X-Star Academy, the youth training centre where the team is based, has been covered in a four-minute morning news scoop by the NBT (National Broadcasting Services of Thailand), as well as multiple in-depth pieces by VR Channel, a local cable news channel, though it's not quite easy to tell how independent the latter's reporting actually is. Coverage on the league club, however, is rather scant (naturally, since they only launched a few months ago). There's this piece by the same VR Channel covering their launch, and SMM TV, a satellite sports channel, but they don't contain much original reporting. It seems X-Star Academy might actually be the better article subject than X-Star Khueang Nai United F.C. (which would be the more correct spelling). --Paul_012 (talk) 14:40, 16 September 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete with WP:GNG being at best borderline, the club also fails our general consensus guideline WP:FOOTYN. SportingFlyer  talk  21:54, 22 September 2018 (UTC)
 * WP:FOOTYN is used football clubs don't join league and play in Thai FA Cup. A team that has never played a single match can have participated in this cup. such as Muangchang United don't join 2018 Thailand Amateur League but this team can play 2018 Thai FA Cup.
