396:– Have looked around for info on the club's history (hard to come by). As best I can tell, GHFA had a number of youth teams which were the youth system of Northern Spirit FC. When Northern Spirit (the senior club) ceased to exist, the GHFA formed Spirit FC with the same youth teams and a new senior team through a merger with another club in order to keep a senior team in operation.
56:. There is clearly no consensus for an outright deletion, but there have been several who have argued for merging and redirecting. I have looked at the comments and sources, and see that a reasonable case can be made that Glades Hornsby is in some ways a successor to the disbanded Northern Spirit FC, and that the proposals to merge has sufficient merit to do that.
365:.The National Premier Leagues system was created in 2013 and serves as a nationwide second league for Australia (and within itself, containing the 2nd through 5th divisions of Australian football). Quite a few of the teams playing in this league played in the national comp as late as 2004, before the formation of the A-League...

and given the two clubs' similarity in name and geography). Sources/a detailed history which confirms/denies this are hard to come by. Depending on the conclusion it may be appropriate to merge the two articles (given that
Northern Spirit satisfies notability guidelines). Northern Spirit, however, is

in reliable sources, per the GNG. The sources mentioned above do not address the subject directly and in detail, which the GNG rightly requires. If the sources can't even give us reliable information about what this club is and how it came about, that's a pretty good indication that the GNG test

Amateur football club, with no evidence of playing for any significant league. Was tagged for A7 - correctly in my view - but the article creator strongly disputes this and is claiming notability. Since it won't hurt to wait a week, I thought a proper AfD discussion would be best.
355:. I feel that many, if not all of the teams entering into this competition deserve their own page. This team plays in the 3rd tier of Australian football. There are roughly 100 teams in the 10th tier of the English pyramid that have their own Knowledge (XXG) article, many of whom

shows the initial formation of Spirit FC, and mentions that the club will need seniors in order to play in future seasons (which it would seem subsequently led to the merger). As a result of both of these I would reaffirm that the page should be kept.
170:
617:, as a member of the, then top-flight NSL. I believe playing in a national top-flight football competition leads to notability? As for GHFA Spirit FC and linking the two, that is something I don't fully understand or have an opinion on.--

572:- in the interest of achieving consensus, it seems to be noteworthy that no one seems to be opposed to a merge/redirect (except for the initial two editors who may have been unaware of the facts discussed since)?
457:
as it appears this is where their youth teams now continue. No notability surrounding the men's team. By definition, playing in the regional qualifying rounds of a national competition is insufficient to satisfy

405:("In 2005, pressed into linking with a senior group, Gladesville Spirit United was formed"). Interesting also that some sources clearly view the two clubs as a single entity (

As the author of the article, I do agree that there is very little information available about this particular club. The reason why I created this page, is due two-fold:

Hard to know what to do here/make of this as a result. The most reliable source which confirms this (in passing) is an article from the club's official website quoted
