Delete – As far as I know the ELO ranking for clubs is not used in any competition, just an alternative ranking, and it is not notable. Qed237 (talk) 00:55, 22 May 2015 (UTC
Delete- Excluding non-notable, this page does not have any citations as well and looking at the article it seems the page is not that significant)Sammanhumagain^t@lk 03:47, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Elo is a widely used ranking system, but it is not used in any official capacity in football. No issues with noting the Elo ranking of clubs in their individual articles, but no need for a stat dump for an unofficial listing. Fenix down (talk) 08:45, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Elo is the only rating system that is independent on criteria/match/system (think: league, cup, champions etc.), so its importance is central to rank clubs in a non capricious and non arbitrary way.

The parallel Elo rating article - World Football Elo Ratings is widely linked to [1] even if it seems not to have any competitive legal consequences.

Regarding the low level of references, it is a new article, hence its a starting point. But a well known system like Elo rating is not something that can be said "lacking references" Jazi Zilber (talk) 15:42, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
