• Delete - no indication of significance, let alone notability. Fails WP:GNG. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 21:50, 10 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - no evidence of notability. GiantSnowman 08:25, 11 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - notability now verified. GiantSnowman 20:47, 21 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - fails WP:FOOTYN, has not participated in a national competition. Not seeing any indication of wider GNG ad would not expect to see much more than routine match reporting for a club playing in a low level regional league. Fenix down (talk) 11:20, 12 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Considering WP:FOOTYN specifically, the article does note (in the table) that the team did play in the Thai FA Cup in 2009, 2011, 2014, 2015 and 2017. This highlights video is referenced in the 2017 article.[1] --Paul_012 (talk) 16:39, 12 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Pinging Fenix down. --Paul_012 (talk) 07:19, 16 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Keep - passes FOOTYN has played in the national cup multiple times. I misread the league cup column. Fenix down (talk) 15:10, 16 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Tons of coverage via Google News search.[2] A lot of it is routine match coverage, but there's still a huge amount dedicated to the club's performance, team composition, player acquisition, sponsorships, etc. on smmsport.com alone,[3] indicating that the subject easily satisfies the GNG. --Paul_012 (talk) 15:18, 12 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - match reporting doesn't usually count as it is, as you say, routine. PLus very low level teams get local news reporting on their matches which wouldn't count in any instance. Would be seful to have provided a translation of any sources you believe to be non-routine though. Fenix down (talk) 15:35, 12 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• How about this? "Naresuan Warriors" Phitsanulok F.C. champs of Northern Region [in the first leg of the 2017 Thai league 4] (from the print daily Khao Sod, 15 Apr 2017)[4]

  Phitsanulok are already favourites to win and earn a promotion, since they're a large team who previously played in the Thai League 2. This season core players ศุภกร นาคน้อย, บายาโน่ ซอบเซ่ เฮไน, ดิอาร์รา อาบูบาการ์ ซิดิก, สุเมธี สุกใส etc. made splendid performances, winning 6 out of 8 matches, drawing 1 and losing 1, earning 19 points. Their offensive game is currently the best of the regional league, with 22 goals scored, the most in Thai League 4, and losing only 7. Barring a major upset, Phitsanulok should win the Northern Region without any difficulty.

• Keep. Participated in several national-level tournaments. See the Season by Season Record section in the article for FA Cup and League Cup participations. --Lerdsuwa (talk) 18:15, 12 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • See this reference [5] for the club's matches (the site only has club's data back to 2014) including FA Cup and League Cup matches. --Lerdsuwa (talk) 00:41, 14 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep passes WP:FOOTY.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 19:27, 18 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep passes WP:FOOTY by having participated in a national cup. The guidelines are met, it's notable. Smartyllama (talk) 20:45, 19 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
