Fails WP:NSEASONS. Minor division 2 school that went entire season without a ranking. ‡ Єl Cid of ᐺalencia ^ᐐT₳LKᐬ 17:32, 18 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: WP:NSEASONS is an inclusionary standard. It is part of WP:NSPORTS which states: "Failing to meet the criteria in this guideline means that notability will need to be established in other ways (e.g. the general notability guideline ...)" So the real question here is whether Angelo State's 2017 and 2018 seasons have received significant coverage in multiple, reliable, independent sources. Cbl62 (talk) 18:20, 18 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Soft Keep: The other schools in the conference has a 2017 season article. So does teams from the Template:2017 Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference football standings and Template:2017 Gulf South Conference football standings and most of those teams didn't get ranked as well. Teams for the 2018 season also has been created as well, 2018 NCAA Division II football season. So its not like its a new random article. Its not the first, nor is it the last as I haven't finished with the rest of the conference yet for the 2018 season, I can find more sources to tag the articles with.--Jpp858 (talk) 18:23, 18 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Conditional keep /if not merge to Angelo State Rams football I think that there are some sources out there that would suffice to pass GNG like so many of the former D-II California programs. But I also believe that those should be present in the article. If these cannot be met then merge to the football program article.-UCO2009bluejay (talk) 23:44, 19 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete random non-notable team. Calm Omaha (talk) 23:52, 22 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I think the sources are out there. I would be more likely to support a delete for a group nomination of all the team season articles like this, say all non-championship-winning NCAA Division II team seasons, or at least all of the 2017 ones. Cherry-picking off this one article while leaving all of it's conference mates (see Category:2017 Lone Star Conference football season) is not a consistent approach.

delete Team finished 4-4 in conference so nothing outstanding about its season. Nothing in coverage to show the GNG is met.Sandals1 (talk) 14:44, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Per WP:NSEASONS, college seasons may or may not be notable depending on the context - but there's nothing to show this team's season, being played in a minor collegiate division, is notable. SportingFlyer talk 09:40, 4 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
