OK, the relevant Afd was in 2011. Let's ask some questions.


 * Question 1: Notability policies and guidelines have changed since then, haven't they?
 * Question 2: has this particular Association Football team may have gathered some WP:SIGCOV since 2011?

My answers are to these questions
 * Answer 1: Yes, they have changed, and are adverse to the retention of this article. this would appear to me strongly supportive of a "delete" outcome here
 * Answer 2: Nope, not as far as I can see

Despite or possibly because AFDISNOTCLEANUP I'm fine with any alternate outcome Shirt58 (talk) 🦘 09:18, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

 * Delete the participation in Football at the Micronesian Games is not sufficient for an article on its own; and there is nothing else to base an article on. Walsh90210 (talk) 20:13, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I am neutral regarding whether to retain this title as a redirect. Walsh90210 (talk) 19:16, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete or redirect to Football at the Micronesian Games. Everything one could want to know about the team is located there. Very far from notability. Geschichte (talk) 20:57, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Sadly there's nothing really wrong with this article apart from the fact it's for a very dusty far away area of the football world where the team isn't consistently active and where most news gets posted on Facebook instead in newspapers. I think deleting this makes our encyclopaedia worse as it's correct and reliably sourced, but I can't make a good solid argument to keep this, nor is any coverage from the tournament they participated readily available online which could rebut the #2 argument for deletion. So IAR keep from me, which will be discarded, but still, I object. I am sure the competitions they participated in received at least some coverage somewhere, though, similar to the 2023 futsal tournament which was meant to create interest in the sport.

 * Redirect or merge to Football at the Micronesian Games per above. Possibly a section like "participating teams" could be made on that page, containing a small summary of each team participating? Just a suggestion VojvodaStranih (talk) 18:05, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Football at the Micronesian Games: As a WP:ATD.  Coco bb8  (💬 talk • ✏️ contribs) 09:59, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
