First, "unsourced" is not a deletion rationale so long as the content is verifiable. What sourcing could this possibly require? That these are football clubs in the Isle of Man? That's the only fact asserted here. All the listed clubs have articles, and so if they are individually notable then there will necessarily be multiple sources covering each of them, and every source that even mentions any such club is going to verify the basic fact of what it is. Second, as
WP:CLN makes clear, the existence of a category is not a reason for deleting a corresponding list. So unless you can present a valid reason for deletion, please withdraw your nomination so as to not waste any further time. postdlf (talk) 17:27, 22 December 2014 (UTC)reply
Keep - This is a valid list. The Isle of Man is a separate entity outside the United Kingdom, so its clubs couldn't be listed anywhere else, and the list provides far more info than the category is capable of doing. –

Keep A list of notable clubs with clear inclusion criteria. The "already catered for by the category" statement fails

Comment - all the clubs listed play in the
Isle of Man Football League. Are there any clubs on the island that play in any other league? If not, surely we could just redirect to the article on the league.....? --
