The result was delete. Not seeing GNG shown here. There's some coverage but nothing convincing. No problem with recreation if suitable sourcing can be found. Fenix down (talk) 06:31, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

The article is unreferenced, and I can't find any corroborating information either at the enWiki page for the league that the team supposedly plays in or on idWiki. Searching online, I was only able to find results about Badak Lampung F.C., which is a different team. I'm honestly a bit uncertain about what to do at this juncture: I can't find evidence that this subject is notable, it doesn't seem appropriate to redirect to Liga 3 (Indonesia) as there's no mention of the team there, and redirecting to Badak Lampung may be inappropriate if there really is a real team named Lampung F. C. As a result, deletion may be the best possible option available to us if we can't find reliable sources covering the subject. signed, Rosguill talk 22:02, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

- I'm unfortunately fine with a delete result - the Liga 3 is provincial and there are a number of similar teams. It's not impossible they're notable, but it's an extremely difficult search. SportingFlyer T·C 02:30, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
- I think it's probably notable, but there's not enough sources yet to satisfy this. Maybe a relist? SportingFlyer T·C 03:23, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
- Delete This is very confusing. The article says that this team was formerly called "PSBL Bandar Lampung", but PSBL Bandar Lampung has its own page and still exists[1] (Yeah, the website is really called "Lampost", presumably acronym of "Lampung Post"). And a template on idWiki lists them as different teams[2]. And finally, there's Badak Lampung F.C., which plays in the second league and is thus more notable and gets more editor attention. So "Lampung F.C." seems to be a team of its own, but lacks notability, and the information on the current page about is flawed. –Austronesier (talk) 08:40, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
- Add The "official site"-link is just a newsblog which mentions that "Lampung F.C." were runner-up for the 2014 Liga Indonesia Premier Division, but—alas—they didn't make it[3]. That was their 15 minutes of fame, and the article was created more or less at that time. –Austronesier (talk) 08:56, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
- Comment Lampung F.C. was runner-up of the 2013 Indonesian Premier Division (LPIS), which was a dualism and unofficial version of Indonesia Premier Division. And I found it funny that Lampung FC is redirected to Badak Lampung F.C. which is no connection between both teams. Lampung FC wasn't part of PSSI in 2014 but joined in Liga 3 Lampung in 2017. And it's different with PSBL. Wira rhea (talk) 05:41, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
- Delete - no evidence of notability. GiantSnowman 16:51, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
- Keep - They were the top team in the second tier in 2013, and went on the final in the play-offs. This would have made them arguably one of the best non-fully professional teams in the country. Their players might not be quite notable - but how is the team not notable? This was extensively reported in the media at the time example. At the risk of "other things" the other 20 teams that played in tier 2 that season all have articles. A separate question is if this is the same team as PSBL Bandar Lampung - and if so one the articles should redirect to the other. Nfitz (talk) 21:45, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
- Comment PSBL Bandar Lampung and Lampung F.C. are not the same team, see here[4]. –Austronesier (talk) 10:17, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
- Delete, The article is unsourced and shows no sign of notability. Alex-h (talk) 09:38, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
