Keep - Poppified, there are quite a few references cited in the article itself. Is it your suggestion that none of them provide significant coverage of the subject? I clicked on a couple and a cursory skim through them suggests there's plenty there. Is there some reason this detailed analysis, for example, shouldn't be considered? This is an in-depth interview with the club's CEO on the YouTube channel of a mainstream commercial radio program (generally considered WP:RS). There are also articles like this one. These are not passing mentions of the club, they are in-depth analysis of its history, plans, and efforts to join the KPL. St★lwart¹¹¹ 11:05, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Stalwart111: Hello , Both these sources maybe giving coverage but I don't think so these are from a reliable sources. YouTube video about the program I don't think it's part of a mainstream radio channel. Nextly they only played KPL which is an ameature tournament not an extablished tournament.Thanks Poppified ^talk 11:17, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Well, where they have played and whether or not they are professional is unrelated to WP:GNG, though the article asserts they are a professional team and multiple other teams in the league are professional teams also. And yeah, its the official YouTube channel of a commercial radio show with an FM frequency; that's enough for me. Besides which, I just picked a few sources at random and found WP:GNG. So I'd need to be convinced they aren't significant coverage, and that all of the others should be ignored. St★lwart¹¹¹ 11:28, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Stalwart111: I think I ended up making a false decision on taking this to articles for deletion. I think it is better to take the request back.Thanks Poppified ^talk 11:34, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You can withdraw the nomination, but now that there is another delete !vote from GiantSnowman it probably can't be closed as speedy keep. I have tagged GS in case our discussion and your withdrawal is sufficient for him to amend his !vote. St★lwart¹¹¹ 22:06, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Stalwart111: I think after we got different votes here let's wait for others to give their opinion. I think my withdrawal will be childish if I withdraw this discussion right now.ThanksPoppified ^talk 05:11, 5 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sensible. It's also unlikely to be speedy-keep closed with a valid deletion !vote in place, even if you were to withdraw the nomination. St★lwart¹¹¹ 05:18, 5 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I an unwilling to change my !vote and the discussion cannot be speedy closed with valid delete !votes, sorry. Giant Snowman 17:38, 5 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - not convinced there is enough significant coverage of the club itself to meet GNG. Giant Snowman 11:43, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. the sources linked are reliable in my opinion, and it is notable. Swd7391 (talk) 15:01, 7 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Kerala Premier League is not a semi-professional or a amateur league. All the clubs playing here are professional to full league coverage and the winner of KPL qualifies for I-League 2nd Division. It is the only state football league in Kerala and some notable clubs including Kerala Blasters and Gokulam Kerala FC plays in this league. The sources mentioned in the article for LUCA SC are reliable. Indian Football Fan 2018 (talk)
Keep: All the sources mentioned are reliable and KPL is a semi professional league in which winners are nominated to ileague 2nd divsion. Moreover players in these teams are registered in AIFF player registration process. Unlike amateur league, teams are not required to register their players.(User talk:MalabarGun)
