Delete as unnotable sports club which has not been shown to hold any notability, part of a large series of microstubs created about similar topics. c.f. a similar case from earlier in 2012. Cloudz 679 09:39, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I've not read a clear guideline about the soccer clubs yet. 3rd Division clubs could be notable in my opinion. ●Mehran ^Debate● 09:20, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What about this club makes it notable? Cloudz 679 20:30, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As we have an article about 2010–11 Iran Football's 3rd Division which is a national league and Vahdat Ivan-e-gharb F.C. is one of the teams. It makes it notable regards to WP:FOOTYN. ●Mehran ^Debate● 19:48, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As discussed at the last AfD, linked in the nomination, the Iran Football's 3rd Division article identifies as a regional league. Teams play each other according to geographic criteria. As previously established, merely being one of the teams in this regional league is not an indication of notability. C 679 22:54, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No it's not regional. Take a look at the same article. You can see that we have teams from different provinces all over the country. For example, Group 3 consists of Teams in Tehran, Isfahan, Babol, three different region of the country, one of them is in the center, one is upper and one is in the right north. And also about the other group ... And then they play together till final match. This is called national. ●Mehran ^Debate● 05:12, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete - Unsourced article about a club that has not generated sufficient coverage to meet WP:GNG. Sir Sputnik (talk) 17:52, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - has not played at a notable level, and fails WP:FOOTYN. Also fails WP:GNG as there isn't significant coverage in reliable sources. Mentoz86 (talk) 13:13, 4 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
