Reverted redirect without improvement. Currently not enough sourcing to pass WP:VERIFY. Searches did not turn up enough in-depth coverage from independent, reliable sources to support meeting WP:GNG. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 14:10, 19 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. AFD is waste of time/wrong venue per WP:AFDISNOTCLEANUP, the club played in the 2024–25 UAE Pro League so this must be solved editorially. Geschichte (talk) 17:16, 19 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep going to the Arabic wiki, copying the article title, and searching it brings up a wealth of local and national coverage. Easily passes WP:GNG. English coverage harder to search for just because all of the database sites come up first but there are a couple English language match reports as well.

Keep – Needs improvements, but easly pass in WP:GNG. Svartner (talk) 22:07, 19 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Arabic! Yes, the article needs TLC, but it passes GNG! Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 05:39, 20 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep There was no consensus or even a discussion to redirect the team to the city on 11 June. [1] The subsequent events seem to be taking that redirect to be the status quo. WP:BEFORE is a thing, two things can be true at the same time: 1. The page is crap and has no sources, 2. The subject is notable and played last season in the top UAE league. Redirecting for lack of sources is usually just a consideration about living people, not organisations. The subject comes from a country with Arabic script, so searching in ABC's won't bring up local and national coverage. Unknown Temptation (talk) 11:04, 20 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per above arguments which show notability. Giant Snowman 11:56, 20 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
