NK Elektra Osijek

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

Non-notable soccer club which currently plays in the Croatian fourth level. Never appeared in top flight or the national cup and thus fails WP:FOOTYN. Timbouctou (talk) 21:10, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - no evidence of notability. Giant Snowman 23:16, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
No delete - the sources are written, logo is prominently, history is written. It is true that club is not known, but if articles: NK Višnjevac, NK Belišće, NK Mladost Antin and lot other can be preserved, I do not see why do not this article can be preserved. --IvanOS (talk) 20:18, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- The reason why Elektra fares worse in comparison is that it only plays in the 4th league - all three others you mentioned were at least in the 3rd league (and the worst of them is actually tagged as having questionable notability). Did Elektra ever play in a higher-level league? --Joy [shallot] (talk) 18:59, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - As a rule of thumb football clubs are considered notable if they either either appeared in the national cup or appeared in the nation's top level league, which in Croatia's case practically means all first and second level clubs. Everything below that is decided on a case-by-case basis. Elektra never featured in Prva HNL and never played in the Croatian Cup. Regarding the other three clubs mentioned - NK Belišće spent three seasons in top level (1992-1995) and appeared in the Yugoslav Cup seven times, even reaching Round of 16 in the 1979–80 Yugoslav Cup. IvanOS is right about NK Višnjevac and NK Mladost Antin though, I'll AfD them right away. Timbouctou (talk) 21:16, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
