Pinging @Sakiv who created this page and initially failed to add the sources mentioned above. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 09:30, 1 August 2019 (UTC)

@Finnusertop: Can you refer to the sources intended because I didn't find any source there. Plus this article is like all other national team results articles in that it is not meant to include a reference for every match played.--Sakiv (talk) 18:01, 5 September 2019 (UTC)

@Sakiv: In the link I provided above, pick any match, for example the match played between Mongolia and North Korea on 11 November 2018, and click on "show" to see the external link to the match report. That's the reference. There should be a link to a match report for every match in this article. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 18:09, 5 September 2019 (UTC)

@Finnusertop: Should the template remain even if no report is available for each game? You know, it's very difficult to find a report for a North Korea game in 2005, for example.--Sakiv (talk) 18:19, 5 September 2019 (UTC)--Sakiv (talk) 18:19, 5 September 2019 (UTC)

@Sakiv: all content on Wikipedia need to be verifiable. If you can't find a source for it, it should be removed from the article. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 18:49, 5 September 2019 (UTC)

@Finnusertop: I don't want to keep arguing but I see there's selectiveness in dealing with such articles. For example, there are many similar articles that do not contain sources for each match and yet there are no maintenance templates.--Sakiv (talk) 18:55, 5 September 2019 (UTC)

Yes, Sakiv. The policy is that sources don't need to be in the article, but they need to exist somewhere out there. That is, until someone asks for the sources to be included, which I've done here, and then they need to be included. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 19:00, 5 September 2019 (UTC)

@Finnusertop: You need to point out the information you question because now you're putting the article completely as lacking in sources, which is not true.--Sakiv (talk) 19:13, 5 September 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for adding the sources in the link, Sakiv. I'm satisfied and you can remove the tag if you like. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 07:38, 6 September 2019 (UTC)
