Fails WP:GNG. Article contents already explained in detail at Kerala Blasters FC supporters section, no need for separate article. ArsenalFan700 (talk) 15:35, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect : This has been previously discussed and deleted. Speedy delete (G4) might apply too. Coderzombie (talk) 15:38, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

As GiantSnowMan suggested, this is a feasible search term, so better to redirect and protect. Coderzombie (talk) 14:12, 23 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

redirect as possible search term but protect to prevent the redirect beng hijacked again. Giant Snowman 16:00, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with this. Create a redirect, but protect it. Coderzombie (talk) 08:26, 22 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Sources in the article shows significant coverage in independent RS, So it passes WP:GNG.-Akhiljaxxn (talk) 18:34, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Kerala Blasters FC. MT Train^Discuss 05:56, 22 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep - I declined the speedy on the basis that the previous AfD asserted notability purely on the basis of coverage received for a song composed by the group. In this instance there seems to be wider third party coverage of the fan group as an entity in itself that is not directly linked to coverage of the team they support.

a very week keep...There seems just about enough sourcewise to establish notability. But I still think really the subject could easily be contained in the article on the kick-the-ball team. BTW I was responsible for speeding this.TheLongTone (talk) 16:00, 22 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect and Merge Kerala Blasters FC Is not a big article at all, the supports group should be on the main article if anything. Passing WP:GNG doesn't always mean having a separate article from the main subject when both can be fitted into one article. Govvy (talk) 13:16, 23 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Merge into Kerala Blasters FC No need to spilt. Hhhhhkohhhhh (talk) 06:52, 27 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
