As a youth side they obviously don't play in any of the national cup competitions meaning the article fails WP:FOOTYN, and there is insufficient coverage independently of the senior side to establish notability per WP:GNG. Sir Sputnik ( talk) 18:11, 23 December 2016 (UTC)

- Oppose – The statement of the youth side don't play in any national cup competitions is totally false. The youth side play in the U21 and U19 national reserve or development and youth league system in Malaysia. The reason lack of specific article in mainstream media regarding the team was because they did not perform well in the competition compare to others team. It also must be noted, the club has recently change its name as part of privatisation effort to Melaka United from its old name of Malacca ( Malay: Melaka) which can be considered generic and make any reference about the team in the internet harder to track as some news outlet still use the old name and most of the news was published in the local regional hardcopy newspaper rather than online. However, all information regarding the competition can be obtained directly through the Football Association of Malaysia website as they are the body which manage the national youth competition. If the article even considered for deletion, then I believe all other reserves and youth team page in European league such as Chelsea F.C. Reserves and Academy also should face the same fate then.
