San Diego iCon FC[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I cannot find any substantial independent sources for this club, either under this name or what is claimed to be its previous name. WP:Help desk#San Diego iCon FC purports to be from an intern at the club, claiming that the history is wrong (the sentences about its history are unreferenced). It rather looks to me as if the club did fold this year, and somebody else has started up a new club with the same name, but that is only a guess. Either way, I don't think it is notable.

Comment. I think that if this is kept, the article title should be changed to the original club name (San Diego Boca FC). According to the article, they played all their matches under the old name and folded before playing any matches as Icon. The name change was initiated by Robert McCrea who still claims to own the club on his LinkedIn page. However, the club's official site says that the current owner is Lynn Borja so these are undoubtedly two different entities and the current title is conflating them.

Weak keep. They certainly existed as Boca and there is some coverage under that name. [1][2][3][4] Spinning Spark 09:29, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
delete no significant coverage about the subject. the links provided by @Spinningspark: all appear to be about co-marketing events in publications that appear to be press release services. Coverage of soccer in Telecommunications Weekly? -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 13:39, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect as above. Sadly, TRPoD's sense of the highbeam sources matches my own, those are reprinted press releases. --j⚛e decker ^talk 14:39, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
