• Keep Sources in the article show significant coverage in independent RS, so it passes WP:GNG. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 00:02, 16 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

WP:GNG requires significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. This page has cited 6 sources and most of them not uses the term "West Block Blues".No real indication that the supporters of the club have recieved in depth reliable coverage. A lot of the sources are just stats about attendences and WP:ROUTINE news reporting about the sort of events that happen to some degree to all groups of football fans thus delete.

• Keep While the article in its current state only has six (admittedly not-so-good) sources and it certainly doesn't pass WP:GROUP or WP:NSPORT, those factors alone don't disqualify it from meeting WP:GNG. Just a cursory Google News search found a plethora of sources dealing with the West Block Blues as either the main subject or an important part of the piece (in no particular order, [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] bolded articles have the West Block Blues as the primary subject). It may be unorthodox to grant a fan group its own standalone article, but I think the depth of coverage offers a good argument to do so. Gargleafg (talk) 08:45, 16 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

WP:GNG requires significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. This page currently cited 6 sources and only two of them barely uses the term "West Block Blues" Notable fan clubs may get more coverage than this, but there is nothing to suggest this club is anything of note. No reliable secondary sources mentioning this fan group, thus failing WP:RS, WP:V and notability for non-commercial organisations at WP:CLUB. Akhiljaxxn (talk) 11:43, 16 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep more than enough reliable sources have been identified by Gargleafg for WP:GNG to be passed Atlantic306 (talk) 22:41, 21 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The existing references isn't enough to justify a standalone article , they don't pass WP:GNG as significant coverage of the subject directly in detail; .There is the Supporters section which is covered very well in its parent article Bengaluru FC.
