Amateur football club. Does not meet WP:GNG/WP:NCLUB/WP:NCORP. Only source in the article is a listing of all teams in the competition. » Shadowowl | talk 09:49, 28 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep As noted in a previous AfD, amateur status has no bearing on football notability. Appears to meet WP:GNG: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] (I don't read Dutch, but there are more sources available than just the ones posted here) SportingFlyer talk 11:25, 28 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Source 1,2 and 6 are regional, source 3 and 4 are about clubs losing from this team. Source 5 might be usable. » Shadowowl | talk 17:31, 28 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing wrong with regional sources. SportingFlyer talk 02:05, 29 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - appears to be notable. Giant Snowman 12:06, 28 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Club plays in the fourth tier of Dutch football and we have articles on all other clubs at this level. Number 5 7 14:14, 29 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – Regional press sources are awesome for notability plus there are plenty of other sources just as well! In this particular case I happen to have written the article on the newspaper a while ago, because of its relative importance during most of the years it covered HSV De Zuidvogels. The Zuidvogels entry clearly completes and enriches Wikipedia and should stay because of WP:GNG and WP:NEXIST. I would be able to expand but am very busy at present. Otherwise after the AfD. gidonb (talk) 14:19, 29 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I expanded and referenced anyway. More importantly, I shorted the name per WP:COMMONNAME to Zuidvogels which increased the number of sources by a lot (see below) from a wide variety of media. To the nomimator I recommend doing much better research WP:BEFORE AfDing. Please check Delpher before nominating Dutch subjects and check the name before nominating any article! gidonb (talk) 02:38, 30 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
