Fails WP:GNG. Also a lack of references and there doesn't seem to be any sources that there is any official women's under-23 tournament in Asia. The references that are given doesn't mention anything about a supposed women's under-23 team. Ironically, one of the sources for the fixtures is FIFA's fixture & results page which only lists senior teamand for age group FIFA tournaments.

Keep This is an important and emerging Asiad/South Asiad women's team which will participate in the upcoming 2016 South Asian Games. As for GNG, it has been widely cited through local and international press coverage, check the sources on the page. Do not misuse Wikipedia, you know exactly what you're doing.

There still isn't anything in the sources that say it was the women's under-23's! Women's football at the SAG is a SENIOR competition, not an age group (U-23) competition like it is for men! Again, you even cited FIFA's fixture list for the fixtures/results section of the article. Those are SENIOR fixtures not U-23! There is no notability for a supposed Nepali women's U-23 squad!It looks like you've confused the RSSSF file which states that "all other teams are U-23" under the men's tournament also being for the women which is incorrect. Everything you've put in this article should be in the senior team article(Nepal women's national football team). InternacionalFutbolista (talk) 13:24, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep for now and improve While the articles in the Nepal women's u-23 team might not be notable, it doesn't mean the article is not. Many official competitions and tournaments are only available to u-23 sides, so it's more than likely the Nepal women's u-23 team took part in some of those. However I do agree that the references in this article should be improved, as a large part just seem to be copied from the senior women's team article.

What does your fist sentence even mean?? It doesn't make sense! There is no Nepal under-23 women's team! Your second sentence, not for women's football and saying that "it's more than likely" is obviously not definitive. Either you provide sources saying that there was/is a Nepal women's U-23 team or if not, then it's clear there isn't! Everything that is on the page should be in the SENIOR team's article! The women's football tournament at the 2010 SAG for example was a senior tournament. Saying that Nepal officially competed with their U-23's is false and none of the source back it up. For the upcoming SAG, not even the ANFA report about the finalized women's squad mention that it's the U-23's. InternacionalFutbolista (talk) 15:58, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There is evidence. It says on the RSSSF source cited: "India enter with their U-19 team; the other sides are U-23 teams." Ayoopdog (talk) 19:41, 7 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
This is what I have said... you're confused! That note about "India enter with their U-19 team; the other sides are U-23 teams." is for the men's tournament only!!! As I've also said, you've even used FIFA fixtures/results page as a source for this supposed U-23 team's fixture list but that those are full 'A' matches not U-23's! You even created a competitive records section which includes Asian Games and Olympics but women's football at those events has always been and still is for senior teams! Very ironic! There shouldn't even be a redirect. That would suggest that there was/is a Nepali women's U-23 or some notion of it but there wasn't enough info for it to have it's own page.

  • Redirect - I would have to agree with GiantSnowman here and go for redirect to Nepal women's national football team as there is no evidence that this team has ever competed (or actually existed) when looking through all of the references and searching for the team. The RSSSF source for South Asian Games say U-23, but that is for the men's tournament and not for womens (and it is under header for mens tournament). Just like the olympic games the mens tournament is for youth teams and womens tournament for senior teams. Qed237 (talk) 14:38, 8 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Ignore that clown (InternacionalFutbolista). I've just spoken to the digital comms manager at ANFA and he can confirm that the women's team going to the 2016 SAG is a U-23 side with 3 senior team players. Proof: http://i.imgur.com/5gbj27V.png. An official confirmation will be up on the official site/match report signed by the match commissioner soon. Ayoopdog (talk) 22:19, 8 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Ayoopdog: Please stop calling other editors names and I am sorry but that image does not say anything (cut at the wrong place?). Anyway until it is confirmed and well sourced that the team exists it should not have it's own article. Qed237 (talk) 22:30, 8 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Ayoopdog, that's the only thing your half good at, name calling! You call me a clown but this is coming from the same guy who creates a women's U-23 national team page and then creates a tournaments records section which includes the Olympics and Asian Games! lol! Same thing for the fixtures list and then citing FIFA's fixtures list as if FIFA's fixture list includes women's U-23 matches! lol! InternacionalFutbolista (talk) 16:57, 9 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
