Delete. Non-notable football club in a minor competition. Fails WP:GROUP and, as individuals, WP:ATHLETE. WWGB (talk) 14:16, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
Delete Lacks notability. --bonadea contributions talk 16:06, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
Delete No notability whatsoever. BTW, I've seen the relevance of Swedish football teams playing in division 3 questioned (although I didn't quite agree), and this is division 8! Tomas e (talk) 20:58, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Comment - this may be a case of systemic bias and over emphasis on english subjects/sources. All UK football clubs in division 8 have individual articles. Exxolon (talk) 10:39, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

:*Reply. Division 8 is actually the tenth level of the Swedish football league system. We generally accept articles on teams down to level 10 in England, but given the relative sizes of the countries I don't think that we can equate the levels in the two countries. For example England has five national levels, four being fully professional, and Sweden has only two national levels with one being fully professional. Phil Bridger (talk) 17:10, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

::Comment. There is a general tendency to systemic bias, but that definitely doesn't save this article. From a Swedish point of view, this is several divisions below were even small, local newspapers stop bothering, except possibly a results table in fine print. It would definitely get deleted from Swedish Wikipedia. Tomas e (talk) 21:56, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
