The team has only one opponent, Christmas Island. Neither of the team is notable and they are not independent countries of their own rights, not national teams here per se. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 10:00, 14 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete I read through the old AfD and pretty much concur with those deletes, this fails WP:GNG. Unless you can combine with Christmas Islands into one article with enough citations for GNG, maybe a route. Just a thought know. Govvy (talk) 10:33, 14 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - no evidence of notability. GiantSnowman 10:33, 14 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge to Cocos (Keeling) Islands Soccer Association. Nzd (talk) 13:31, 16 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment not an independent countries itself is not a valid reason as Catalonia national football team article existed (not independent and not a member of FIFA), also Macau national football team (not independent and but a member of FIFA). However, at the current state, seem there is lack of GNG coverage of Cocos (Keeling) Islands national football team. Matthew_hk tc 16:49, 16 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect to Cocos (Keeling) Islands Soccer Association. Not inherently notable. power~enwiki (π, ν) 17:02, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge is the best outcome here. If we redirect or delete, it seems reasonable for someone to add the content (or equivalent content) to the Cocos (Keeling) Islands Soccer Association article, in which case a merger is more appropriate. Jack N. Stock (talk) 03:46, 19 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- *Comment.
- Not recommend merge as subject fails WP:GNG for no independent, reliable sources are found to add the content toCocos (Keeling) Islands Soccer Association. redirect
- Not recommend redirect as subject is NOT a national team for Cocos Islands is NOT an independent country.
- Note: Subject was formerlly AfDed before and result was "delete". The content has not improved on this new creation as of previous. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CASSIOPEIA (talk • contribs) 2018-06-19T04:47:54 (UTC)
- Merge or redirect, per NZD and Jack N. Stock"s rational. Seems to be the best outcome. Inter&anthro (talk) 02:28, 20 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
