Newry City F.C.
The result was procedural keep.‎ Boldly closing this discussion as deletion is not a realistic prospect. A merge discussion at Talk:Newry City F.C. and/or Talk:Newry City A.F.C. can be started if anyone wishes to do so. (non-admin closure)  Frank   Anchor  15:56, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

Page is no longer necessary, given how close a resemblance the two clubs are. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Portsfc1887 (talk • contribs) 08:53, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notwithstanding that this AfD nomination appears to be malformed and incomplete, deletion is not cleanup. If there are two subjects with overlap, that is normally addressed with a merge. See WP:MERGEREASON (for when to consider a merge) and WP:MERGEINIT (for how to propose a merge). There is no reason to delete this title and the nom doesn't assert a policy-based rationale to do so. Keep. Guliolopez (talk) 13:55, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

 * Procedural keep - it can be a bit of a grey area when a football club goes bust and is "re-formed" as to whether the two clubs should be considered the same or separate. if they are separate, then having two articles is valid.  If they are the same, then they should be merged.  Either way, deleting this article is not the appropriate course of action -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 15:05, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
