Plays in the Cypriot Third Division, which is not a fully professional league. Fails WP:FOOTYN as third division sides play in a lower tier domestic cup tournament. Vanadus (talk | contribs) 03:10, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - the nominator is slightly confused - not being a member of a professional league is NOT reason to delete; in fact, we have plenty of teams who play in low amateur levels. However, there is little evidence that this particular team is notable. Giant Snowman 17:13, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per new evidence from Deserter1, meets WP:FOOTYN. Needs massive improvement though. Giant Snowman 22:35, 21 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

*Delete What's to delete? There is virtually no content. Nipsonanomhmata ^(Talk) 20:19, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as noted by GiantSnowman even though there is still no content! Nipsonanomhmata ^(Talk) 00:26, 22 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - There is no evidence of notability and almost no content. Sir Sputnik (talk) 14:55, 21 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Article certainly requires improvement, but for me the club is notable. They have played in the Cyprus Cup [1][2] and the Cyprus Second Division (most recently in 05/06 [3]). The club also has a profile on stats websites like soccerway [4] and weltfussballarchiv [5]. Deserter1 20:53, 21 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment (also see below). I don't see any evidence of notability. I couldn't find anything in a Google search other than hits mentioning the club's existence and various mediocre stats. I don't see anything satisfying WP:FOOTYN in the references provided by Deserter1; please indicate precisely which sources meet this requirement so we don't accidentally overlook something useful.

The WP:FOOTYN guidelines on club notability state: "All teams that have played in the national cup... are assumed to meet WP:N criteria". As I mentioned above, this team has competed in the national cup of Cyprus in recent years; the RSSSF links confirm this. Deserter1 talk 12:56, 27 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

OK, thanks. I'll withdraw my "delete" !vote on this basis. I do recommend adding more material to the article, including a clear indication in the text (cited to a suitable source) confirming that the team has played in the Cyprus national cup.
