Another case of WP:TOOSOON. Club is brand new after a merger between two clubs and doesn't meet the old WP:FOOTYN guidelines for clubs yet, doesn't meet WP:NSPORTS or WP:GNG. NZFC^(talk)^(cont) 02:03, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - likely to be notable in the future, but WP:CRYSTAL applies, and there's no evidence of notability currently. Giant Snowman 10:17, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Draft Also felt this should have been moved to draft space instead of sending to AfD! Govvy (talk) 10:52, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Draftify - as the article was created in Apr 2020, it's likely too old to draftify through normal process but it can be sent to draft via AfD. This team has a fair chance of future notability so that's my preferred outcome. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 11:04, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - WP:TOOSOON applies CommanderWaterford (talk) 12:09, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Can't find much in the papers but I did find this: [1] (also [2], not sigcov). SportingFlyer T·C 23:00, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I'm happy if original user or someone else wants the article changed to draft but otherwise it's just a case that of too early. The club will be notable in the future I'm sure, just not now! NZFC^(talk)^(cont) 02:03, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
