Redirect to HFC Haarlem. The team, which plays on a very low level, has not achieved notability on its own. Instead, the page exclusively repeats information already contained in the HFC Haarlem article. Geschichte (talk) 07:23, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. On notability this would be a very easy keep. The repetition claim, however, has some merit. I'll research and consider it some more. gidonb (talk) 05:04, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep If it stays alive it will general coverage over time, and you shouldn't redirect to a disbanded club article with a phoenix club article. There is basic coverage around, enough so to warrant the article. Govvy (talk) 09:12, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - sufficient sources which appear to show notability, and other clubs in same division all seem to have articles, indicating a general notability for clubs of that ilk. Giant Snowman 15:19, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@GiantSnowman By "other clubs", are you referring to the 12 clubs in the bottom template? Vierde Klasse consists of 55 divisions with 12 or 14 teams in each, so the claim that "other clubs in same division all seem to have articles" seems far from correct.

Keep per WP:GNG. Current content is misleading. Article is biased toward the famous "parent", while the club continues on the license and registration of the other parent. I will fix that. Name should be Haarlem-Kennemerland FC. While I support dropping the FC where it is not needed, here it is needed. "Haarlem Kennemerland" is "city region" and that is ambiguous. The dash was unjustifiably dropped. Nomination is focused on the fact that the club currently plays in the Vierde Klasse, however it has played in the Tweede Klasse and under the previous name in the Eerste. gidonb (talk) 16:01, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
