Delete: per nom and as entirely promotional. (And that being said, a purported rating system which rates as 36th in the world a "national team" from a dependency of 6,000 souls which played a single exhibition game ten years ago is -- to put it bluntly -- profoundly fucked up.)

As creator of the page, if this page is deleted then World Football Elo Ratings should be deleted as well. They are the same thing with different sports produced by the same guy. I agree with Ravenswing about Saint Pierre and Miquelon men's national ice hockey team. They are no longer a team that plays internationally therefore is classed as a former national team. However I didn't want to remove them from list as that would not accurately reflect the sites list. Which again is how World Football Elo Ratings operates.

Comment: I don't believe World Football Elo Ratings should be deleted. Just merely displaying the hypocrisy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Johkey3 (talk • contribs) 09:36, 21 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Reply: If you believe there's hypocrisy inherent in you defending one article and not the other, I shan't gainsay you. But that being said, you haven't actually advanced a valid reason to save this page, and suggesting that the other article has the same sloppy methodology and lack of reliable sources isn't helpful.

Delete This is a ridiculous rating system that no one uses. Uses one primary source that is horribly flawed. There are teams in the list that aren't even national teams ranked ahead of teams that play in the world championships. And there are different ELO tables for nations if you look around the web, not anymore valuable, but at least not fictional.18abruce (talk) 08:40, 22 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Not finding anything that indicates this is notable and passes the GNG. -DJSasso (talk) 11:52, 22 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete No significant independent coverage to show WP:GNG is met. The fact that it's horribly flawed, as other editors mentioned, shouldn't impact its notability but the lack of coverage is crucial. Papaursa (talk) 18:07, 24 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
