Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football/Germany task force/Requested club articles

I think we will have to be careful with the Oberliga Nord area. Isn't there an issue with notability with a tier V league at some point? Granted, clubs that have previously competed at a higher level (such as VfB Oldenburg) are notable, but what about the rest? I somehow doubt they all warrant an article, so maybe we should just leave the template without wikilinks for those latter clubs? Madcynic (talk) 09:25, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think, we won't be able to create that many articles anyway, thats why I didn't list them under requested. I think, the question of notability is therefore only secondary. While I don't like red wikilinks, I think we should leave them there just to tell anybody reading the league article that there isn't actually a club article available.

I've created the above page, so as to better explain what is particular about the designation football club as used in the GDR. Maybe omeone could have a look at this and say a few words re: content and if it's understandable. -- Madcynic (talk) 10:46, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think it would be a good idea to link the club articles to this page. Also, some extra explantion may be required regarding the ties between the two Dynamo's and the Innenministerium. I think, some other clubs also got additional support, similar to the BSG's: Jena was tied to Carl-Zeiss, if I remember right. I don't know whether there was a conection between Lok and the railways and Chemie and the chemical industry. Either way, I think the article should mention it. And last, I think a sepparate article about Betriebssportgemeindschaften would be quite good, too. Other then this, its all good. EA210269 (talk) 11:31, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
