Keep The club is part of a league which already has it's own article on WP. The league, and therefore the clubs belonging to it, it would follow, are WP:NOTABLE The lack of current references is not of itself a reason for removal. It merely needs bringing up to scratch.

"therefore the clubs belonging to it, it would follow, are WP:NOTABLE" is not true. It certainly would make sense to work the other way around, but this is, as far as I know, not part wikipedia policy. Insert CleverPhrase Here 21:54, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep Club played in the Israeli Basketball Premier League for a decade (most recently in 2008–09), reached the Israeli Basketball State Cup final in 2003. The fact that there are articles on four other Wikis should have been a clue that this is a notable subject. Numerous news articles covering the club on Google News.

I was not aware that this team participated in the Premier League, as it is not stated in the article. I'll withdraw if you can provide a source for that. Insert CleverPhrase Here 21:55, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Here you go. Please do some research before nominating articles – you shouldn't take them at face value. Number 5 7 21:58, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I'll add that source to the article and I'll keep that in mind in the future. Insert CleverPhrase Here 22:03, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
