Deletion of Life Sports F.C.

Comment: it's taken a while to come to this conclusion, but I believe this team does not meet the necessary notability guidelines. There's little evidence of them meeting the |general notability guidelines short of being the first team to be accepted into a new regional league, and they haven't competed at a national level as required by . There's no reason why this article couldn't be recreated if the team reaches a high enough level in the Indian league system (i.e. they get promoted from the Nagaland Premier League into the I-league

Comment: is the Royal Gold Cup is actual national cup competition? From what I can tell, it's just an invitational tournament play by a dozen or so teams (the 2011 tournament was competed by 15 teams from 7 states). It wouldn't be what could be considered a true national cup competition, like the FA Cup or the Federation Cup or Durand Cup (which seem to be India's equivalent cup competitions). Unless Life Sports have played in those two competitions, I don't think this club would meet |the usual rule-of-thumb for club notability, which means we would have to establish Life Sports' notability through the |general notability guidelines. This means finding multiple, substantial, third-party sources - match reports wouldn't be enough here. http://www.easternmirrornagaland.com/index.php/sports/8-state/4390-npl-introduces-life-sports-fc-the-peoples-club This source is a start, but we would need more
