F.C. Atlas Reserves

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

This football club appears to be non-notable. There doesn't appear to be any guideline for teams other than "significant coverage in independent reliable sources", which this team doesn't have. The few mentions of it in news articles I have found to not come close to the "significant coverage" criterion, which is explicitly embraced at WP:ORG#Primary Criteria. ^Bongo_matic 14:56, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. I think these articles should considered to be deleted too:Estudiantes Tecos Reserves and Indios de Ciudad Juárez Reserves, there similar to the article F.C. Atlas Reserves. Black 'n Red 16:40, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I found another article that is similar:Club Deportivo Guadalajara Reserves. Black 'n Red 04:22, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge whatever is useful into the corresponding parent team articles. Then delete. - RUL3R^*trolling_*vandalism 03:10, 5 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Merge and delete is not an option; the closest alternative is merge and redirect. -- Big Dom 16:26, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - reserve teams for clubs in the rest of the world have articles (see Category:Reserve team football) - I know this is a case of WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, but I don't see why Mexico should be any different. Article could do with a tidy up to be honest though. Giant Snowman 10:06, 5 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comments Normally only the major clubs of Europe have reserve and academy pages. Being that the F.C. Atlas reserve page seems fairly new I am more inclined to leave it to develop to know how much importance it has in the Mexican league and exports to Europe. But as such it has had time since 30 July of the page creation date. Also it isn't a new club it is just an extension of F.C. Atlas so the category Football (soccer) clubs established in 2009 should be removed. Unless it is going to register for professional league, which I can't see happening the article name would also need changing to more in lines with F.C. Atlas reserves and academy. There needs to be a lot more information added and developed out of it's current state. The state the article is in is more close to a deletion category at the moment. But I am sure with effort put in it can pass a few guidelines. Govvy (talk) 16:45, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, the name has a total of 8 Google hits, and they all seem to have gotten the string from Wikipedia. Even a redirect is inappropriate in this instance, as the low number of Google hits means nobody in the whole world calls this entity by this name.
