Proposed merge of Sportpark Olympia into Mandemakers Stadion

Sportpark Olympia is an ultrashort without sources since 2006. Unclear from the article, it was not just closed but redeveloped as Mandemakers Stadion, serving the same club, RKC Waalwijk. Push factors: lack of content, sources, interest. Pull factors: exactly the same location and club. A classic for merger! To be precise, Olympia continues to be the name of the entire area of sports fields. Mandemakers is the stadium within. gidonb (talk) 00:22, 19 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Disagree. Wherever this claim about it closing in 1996 came from is beyond me, but there are some websites out there claiming it. The stadium is still open and is now home to vv Baardwijk - website here: https://www.vvbaardwijk.nl/. Therefore it shouldn't be merged. Allenthalben (talk) 20:35, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Allenthalben, let me explain again. Sportpark Olympia is the sports park in which Mandemakers Stadion is located. RKC Waalwijk is the only major club in this park. RKC's old stadium was called Sportpark Olympia and this was the topic of the article. This stadium has been torn down and its successor is named Mandemakers Stadion. There are additional clubs in Sportpark Olympia. The adjacent club VV Baardwijk plays in the Derde Klasse, i.e. the eighth tier of Dutch soccer. Its grounds are not notable per se. Finally, I understand that in the meantime you changed your name to NeorxenoSwang and from here moved on again. Please do not remove name change notifications (as minor edits or not), so we can reach a community-informed consensus! gidonb (talk) 22:25, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support merge, as per the nominator. It's hard to make a clearer case. Klbrain (talk) 12:34, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merger complete. Klbrain (talk) 14:27, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
