Armature 5th level team in Netherlands. Stub pages for all teams have been created over the years mostly with no sources.

To start let me point you to this article: Football in the Netherlands. It gives a decent overview of the football structure in the Netherlands.

Looking at current guidelines for teams we are pointed to WP:ORG and WP:WikiProject Football/Notability. There is also an essay that gives some guidance at WP:NCLUB.

The teams in this league are listed on 2016–17 Hoofdklasse but only a couple individual teams are sourced to the level of meeting WP:ORG.

There are some sources out there but I can not verify them or speak to their independence. Seems these local clubs that play on Saturdays or Sundays and are comprised of local armatures are not inherently notable and without meeting WP:CORP should be removed.

Keep Club has played in the national cup (see e.g. 2016–17 KNVB Cup) which is generally accepted to confer notability on clubs (see similar AfD here). Number 5 7 11:05, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - has played in national cup, therefore notable. Needs improving, not deleting. Giant Snowman 08:34, 30 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Passes FOOTYN, has played in a national competition. Seems to be plenty on them in Dutch media as well for GNG from a simple Google search. Fenix down (talk) 13:52, 30 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
