As few references as either team deleted in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/USL Atlanta and save an appearance in the national cup, which the cabal in WP:FOOTY seems to think makes them notable, the team clearly fails WP:GNG. Walter Görlitz (talk) 02:16, 22 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: Amateur club with no evidence that it can pass the GNG, and seems to violate WP:NOTWEBHOST as well. An appearance in the national cup doesn't cut it. Ravenswing 21:01, 23 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. "Cabal in WP:FOOTY"? 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) 06:23, 24 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per Gpc62 and passes WP:FOOTYN.Clubs who have played in the national cup competition and / or national leagues to be notable.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 04:58, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - playing in NPSL is probably sufficient. GiantSnowman 11:34, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
