Not notable, unsourced, inadequate content ^{Atsme📞📧} 02:35, 10 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Insignificant mentions in mostly unreliable sources. If someone can provide regional or Russian language sources, I can re-consider this !vote. However, in its current state and as per the source search I've taken up, the subject does not clear our notability guidelines, which require significant mentions in reliable sources.

Keep Team is notable beacuse they played in the Russian league, one of the two top bandy leagues, for a couple of seasons. Smartskaft (talk) 00:04, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

As I explained at Lesokhimik the other stub the CU blocked user created, we need multiple independent sources to substantiate notability, which must be verifiable. Both articles fail verifiability. ^{Atsme📞📧} 03:00, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with Atsme here (and I have been one who has opposed Atsme in the past). If you can't provide reliable sources that discuss the team in-depth, then their claimed participation in supposedly top two bandy leagues is moot. Lourdes 04:37, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, the Russian WP article on this club is here - [1], although it has a bit more info, it has no references.... Coolabahapple (talk) 22:11, 16 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. It takes a bit of searching since the club folded a decade ago, but there are multiple Russian-language sources as you would expect for a team playing in possibly the top bandy league in the world for a number of seasons. [2] [3] [4] Even game program auctions: [5] None of these sources probably establish notability on their own, but it's clear there's a lot of information about them in Russian. Not sure what the bandy rules are since I do most of the work in football, but a team playing in a top-flight football league is almost certainly considered notable.
