The Kashmir team is a local club in Bradford. The organization (and the article) pretense to be "national teams for sub-national entities", but it isn't; it's a few random local clubs with ethnic ties that signed up for a press release with this group.

Delete – It may not be HOAX, but it didn't even organize any competition to be relevant.

Weak Keep Most of the coverage isn't independent, but there's some coverage, including from Bradford,
[2], BBC mentions, the Non-League Football Paper, and the nomination was based on a mis-understanding.

Weak keep per above. This is clearly not a hoax, and SportingFlyer makes a good point. It's weak, admittedly, but it's a keep for me right now.

The article is a hoax, because it conflates "national team" with "expat team", and relies on puffery from primary sources to the degree that it makes claims that are demonstrably false. Some actual organization may exist; but it is entirely "we let people put out press releases that pretense to importance which we do not have".

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Final relist as there is no consensus yet. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, LizRead!Talk!23:38, 2 July 2024 (UTC)reply
Weak keep: There is some coverage of this alliance,
[3],
[4], talk about it but are not the primary subject of the article. Forbes article directly about the group
[5].
