Delete per this which indicates they play in the 'League of Burgundy' which appears to be an incredibly low-level, regional league. No evidence of notability, past or present. Giant Snowman 13:39, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, I think. They played quite recently in the CFA2, the nationally organised fifth tier, and reached Round 7 of the 2010–11 Coupe de France, the round at which the Ligue 2 clubs enter the competition (the big clubs come in at Round 8). While the consensus that club notability comes with playing in a national cup is inappropriate for France, where any registered club may enter the Coupe de France, I'd argue that reaching Round 7, i.e. getting through the regional qualifying rounds to the round that the second-tier clubs come in at, is a rather greater achievement than just having played in the English FA Cup, which does generally confer notability. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 10:31, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - per Struway, the club have played in the national rounds of a national competition, so satisfy WP:FOOTYN. Fenix down (talk) 13:07, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - The club did reach the 7th round of the Coupe de France in 2010 ([1]) which is an achievement that in my opinion makes the club notable (there is significant coverage in reliable sources of that cup run). Jogurney (talk) 23:03, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Why would we consider removing articles for clubs who've participated in national competitions? Nfitz (talk) 15:44, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Because there is no evidence of notability in the article. If you want it to be kept, please add reliable sources indicating notability. SageGreenRider (talk) 01:10, 9 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
