West End AFC

 * – ( View AfD View log )

A PROD was removed in 2017 since the club technically has played in the New Zealand cup. Coverage I found included a local league write up and another local write up featuring their reserve team  but both are WP:ROUTINE and so the article fails WP:GNG.

 * Keep - playing in the national cup is a general guideline to notability. Article needs improving, not deleting. GiantSnowman 17:38, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, but the discussions going on over at WP:NSPORT continue to demonstrate that articles can/should be deleted if WP:GNG isn't met. New Zealand isn't a country where sources would be unavailable, either - they might exist, I might have missed them, but I certainly can't find them. SportingFlyer  T · C  18:24, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
 * NSPORT doesn't apply to sports teams, see WP:NTEAM. GiantSnowman 11:41, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
 * NSPORT specifically says Some sports have specific criteria. Otherwise, teams and clubs are expected to demonstrate notability by the general notability guideline. WP:FOOTYN says Per Wikipedia:Notability (sports)#Teams, teams are required to meet the general notability guideline. The following guidance may indicate at what level teams generally have enough coverage to meet the GNG. Therefore, a "general guideline" just means "likely meets GNG," but I don't think this particular team does meet the GNG. SportingFlyer  T · C  18:55, 19 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Keep - It is just a matter of knowing where to find the sources, I have done a bit of a decent update of the page around their Chatham Cup history using a couple of Football Project reliable sources in RSSSF and the Ultimate NZ Soccer website. There will probably be more Stuff write-ups as well. I have added some already, as well as from the Otago Daily Times. NZFC  (talk) (cont)  06:17, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Edit: Found all the following that can be added into the article as well. I will try and read through and add what I can at a later point from the below. NZFC  (talk) (cont)  09:44, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
