• Delete - I see a few database entries on non-RS, but nothing at all in RS, so possibly doesn't even exist? GiantSnowman 17:43, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment. We currently have no evidence this meets the notability criteria. It amazes me that an article in such a poor state has remained on the site for 15+ years. However, I would like to investigate a few matters before !voting.

• First, can we access historic tables of the Guinée Championnat National? The article creator indicated the club played in this league around 2006/2007. If we could verify this, it might point to the fact the club existed and help us to find more info.

• Also, what university did this club represent? Presumably Julius Nyerere University of Kankan (I think it's the only university in the city?). Again, this knowledge might help in a search for info.

• Finally, do we have the means to search Guinean newspapers or other media sources? I'm not sure if any of them would have covered a presumably minor University team playing in the top flight in any detail but it's worth looking into. MarchOfTheGreyhounds (talk) 19:18, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

RSSSF shows that it appeared in Ligue 1 from 2003 until its relegation in 2008/09, and was then relegated from Ligue 2 “due to multiple forfeits” in 2009/10. 98.97.8.17 (talk) 21:03, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
