Fewer references than either team deleted in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/USL Atlanta. No appearance in the national cup. The team clearly fails WP:GNG. Walter Görlitz (talk) 02:17, 22 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: There appear to be more than 90 other National Premier Soccer League teams with wikipages. Clearly there is an existing consensus that such teams pass GNG by being in that league. The nom cites the result of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/USL Atlanta as precedent, but that was about an expansion team that is not yet competing, and the result was redirect to a page about expansion teams in this league. It seems irrelevant to the current AfD. Is this a serious AfD about this one team, or a shot in some kind of ongoing conflict about soccer pages? The nominator voted "keep" in the AfD he cited as precedent for this deletion. -- Gpc62 (talk) 06:31, 24 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Gpc62 is currently playing in the National Premier Soccer League and clubs in the league are eligible to play in the national cup.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 00:20, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - playing in NPSL is probably sufficient. Giant Snowman 11:34, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
