Fails WP:GNG. Walter Görlitz (talk) 14:31, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep All other teams in Premier Development League have articles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Schencktopus (talk • contribs) 14:44, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Do they meet GNG? If not, I can nominate them as well. Walter Görlitz (talk) 14:58, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as per Nomination. As a side note - "all other teams in Premier Development League" do not have articles. I count 5 without articles. Some of the other teams have significant coverage in reliable sources, but another I looked at was as weakly sourced as this one. Exemplo347 (talk) 17:59, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

*Keep There are multiple newspaper articles on this team published in the News and Observer and the Herald-Sun as well as other sources. [1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Schencktopus (talk • contribs) 18:07, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - playing in the PDL, the top amateur league in the US/Canada, is sufficient. Article needs improving, not deleting. GiantSnowman 19:23, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Lack notability. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 21:39, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - playing in the PDL, the top amateur/semipro league in the US/Canada, is sufficient and there are reliable sources including local newspapers and Sports Illustrated 209.131.254.90 (talk) 19:43, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • A brief mention in the SI article does not meet the criteria for GNG. Walter Görlitz (talk) 06:42, 11 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - we've always considered USPDL teams notable. Not sure why this would be any different. Nfitz (talk) 19:53, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Did you read WP:GNG? There are no RSes to support the subject's notability. Walter Görlitz (talk) 06:41, 11 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - per other keep vote rationals. Article needs improvement but deletion is not cleanup. Inter&anthro (talk) 01:03, 11 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
