Comment: Hi there, great start on the article, however, unfortunately as yet it lacks sufficient sources which prove notability. It requires 2-3 sources which are reliable, independent, secondary sources, which talk at length about the topic of the article. Unfortunately the sources you have so far aren’t quite there, and the football group on here are very strict on criteria they use - which leads to less referenced articles quickly being deleted. Hopefully you can find some more independent news articles which talk more directly about Yoshimoto rather PR and match reports, which they absolutely will not accept. Good luck and keep up the hard work 👍 Hope we can accept the article again soon. Absurdum4242 (talk) 08:44, 24 February 2026 (UTC)
