Contested prod. It is too early to create this page. The 2007 season is still going on and the 2008 season doesn't start for almost a year now. The 2007 article wasn't created until January of this year and the same can happen for this one, it is unneeded until then. Phydend 23:38, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep It's got a schedule. Unless that's all just made-up information, I don't see any reason to destroy all the work that went into the article only to recreate it in 90 days. Torc2 00:23, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete The schedule falls squarely within WP:NOT#INFO. Until there's some useful content for this page (which I'm sure there will be when the season starts), this page is unneeded. Hersfold (t/a/c) 01:31, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Currently it might fall under WP:NOT#INFO, but realistically it's just a WP:STUB. A schedule isn't just a list of stats, and there's no question that this article will exist and will contain additional useful information in a matter of weeks. At most I'd suggest establishing a formal policy for when a page for a sports team's season can be made, although I'd suggest "when its schedule is released" is as good a time as any. For that matter, there are already a ton of future sporting events listed. Torc2 02:24, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep -- Why delete something that's obviously going to be created sometime down the line anyways? Never a better time than the present to start collecting news and other information for the article. -- Hawk17 03:32, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - an article about a future season of a college sports team, in an encyclopedia? I don't see any relevance.--Michig 07:39, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
