Delete - no evidence of notability. Giant Snowman 15:05, 10 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per below. Giant Snowman 14:09, 13 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) 11:11, 12 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Passes FOOTYN, has played in a national competition based on the sources provided below. @GiantSnowman: do you want to reconsider? Fenix down (talk) 16:21, 12 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep & merge to JL Chiangmai United F.C., which is the club's new and current name. Appears to meet the GNG, having received dedicated coverage in the national press.[1][2][3] --Paul_012 (talk) 14:53, 12 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Paul 012: could you translate the relevant sections, please? Happy to accept they have coverage but I have no understanding of Thai. Fenix down (talk) 15:22, 12 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The entirety of those articles are discussing the subject. I don't really have the will to translate them all, but the first item, dated 5 February 2017, covers the announcement of the club's new name, with reporting on the ceremony, the club's ownership, management and sponsorship, history and previous performance, and its upcoming participation in the Thai League 4. The second item, from 6 January, provides similar background coverage. The third item, from 3 August, is about the club's 2017 performance, being the only team from the fourth tier to make it into the national FA Cup. --Paul_012 (talk) 15:44, 12 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, so the third source confirms they have played in the National Cup? That would make then notable by current consensus. Is there a match report confirming they have played? Fenix down (talk) 15:56, 12 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I made a mistake above. Should have said they made it into the round of 16 of the FA Cup. Here's the official summary for their first-round match.[4] --Paul_012 (talk) 16:19, 12 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I have adjusted my comments accordingly. Fenix down (talk) 16:21, 12 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep & merge per Paul_012. Participate in 2017 Thai FA Cup and already made it to final 16. --Lerdsuwa (talk) 18:08, 12 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
