Jong AFC Ajax

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Declined speedy. As the reserve team of the clearly notable AFC Ajax, the reserve team fails notability. I did ask over at the Soccer Project if they had any views on this and to date no response. If we allow this reserve team, then presumably all other reserve teams would follow. Seeking consensus. ukexpat (talk) 21:03, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep - As shown by the "Former players" section, the Ajax academy has been responsible for a large number of notable footballers, and presumably the Jong AFC Ajax team is a big part of that. – PeeJay 23:16, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - the same applies to pretty much every reserve team of every leading club, are they all worthy of articles separate from the article for the club itself? – ukexpat (talk) 13:45, 29 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Merge into AFC Ajax. The farm team isn't necessarily notable on its own, but could be mentioned as part of the overall team structure. Torinir ( Ding my phone   My support calls   E-Support Options  ) 15:30, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - once you strip out the listcruft there may not be much left to merge! – ukexpat (talk) 15:44, 29 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep per PeeJay. Other major clubs such as Arsenal and Chelsea have seperate reserve team articles, and IMO Ajax's youth system is much more notable. GiantSnowman 16:13, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep - this club has reached the semi-finals of the Dutch Cup in the past... ugen64 (talk) 04:36, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Though I dislike the list of lists nature of the article, that's not a reason to delete it, and it passes the notability test for me. --Friejose (talk) 21:39, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
