Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Empire of Japan national football team
I https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Empire_of_Japan_national_football_team&oldid=650452027 declined the speedy deletion of this article. The rationale I gave was that "there is sufficient context to identify the subject of the article", which I thought was good enough at the time. I don't think that was a bad decision on my part: there was an Empire of Japan, and it is plausible that there was a football team from that part of the history of Japan that played international football against other national football teams. But that assertion lacks anything in the way of on-line or off-line find-able reliable sources. From what I can see, this article fails  and should be deleted, but no prejudice to be re-created with reliable sources
