Merge discussion
Proposing merging History of Hartlepool United F.C. into this article because: Abcmaxx (talk) 11:47, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
 * "History of" article is poorly written
 * "History of" article is poorly sourced
 * "History of" article is shorter than the actual history section on this article, with no indication the history section is too long or should be shortened

league position 2021-22 in infobox
This should be 17th out of 24th as there 24 teams in league two that season Katherine Northey (talk) 19:34, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

Proposed new History of Hartlepool United F.C. article
I see that the previous History of Hartlepool United F.C. article was deleted in 2020 and merged into this one. However, the current history section on this main article is possibly overly-detailed for a club article (mostly my fault). I would suggest moving the current history section of the main article onto a new 'History of Hartlepool United F.C.' article. I would also suggest replacing the current Hartlepool United F.C.'s history section with the history section from the List of Hartlepool United F.C. seasons as it seems to cover the main points better in a more condensed fashion.

 * Does anyone have a perspective on this? Michaeldble (talk) 12:57, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
 * User:Michaeldble - It seems that there aren't any comments. In the absence of any comments, I am willing to accept the draft, if we understand that anyone who objects to the split can nominate the history article for deletion, and then let a rough consensus decide whether to merge the history back into the parent article or let the history stand, with the AFD indicating that a decision was made to keep the history.  Are you ready for me to accept the draft, and see whether anyone nominates it for deletion?  Robert McClenon (talk) 17:58, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
 * @Robert McClenon Yes I'm fine with that, thanks Michaeldble (talk) 18:06, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
 * @Robert McClenon If you pass the new draft, should I replace this article's history section with my shorter draft or leave it for now? Michaeldble (talk) 18:16, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
 * User:Michaeldble - After I accept the new draft, you can trim the history section in the main article, and will be encouraged to do so. But please wait for me to recheck the draft and then accept it before doing anything.  Robert McClenon (talk)

History Split
I have accepted the history article. If anyone disagrees, please nominate the history article for deletion or merger, rather than unilaterally reverting the split. Robert McClenon (talk) 04:25, 28 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Err...possibly a little premature as the main article is only 20kb readable prose but we'll see how we go in the GA review. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 05:10, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
