Unfortunately, the third tier FA Women's National League North does not tend to get anywhere near as much coverage as the Women's Super League or the Women's Championship (England) hence why we tend not to have season articles for its clubs nor player articles for its players. For this to be kept, it would need to meet WP:GNG in its own right but I can't see anything about this season so far that has received significant coverage from WP:RS that are independent of the subject (see WP:IS). Currently, there is no evidence of GNG being met whatsoever.

Top tier seasons like 2023–24 Manchester United W.F.C. season are generally notable because the events are covered in detail by RS like the BBC. I can't see Nottingham Forest Women getting the same level of coverage. If season articles at this level are decided to be inherently notable following this AfD, this would then mean we potentially should have such articles on all Championship teams as well as National League Premier teams - but I would like to see evidence of notability first before we plunge into mass creation. Currently, we only have season articles for WSL teams. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 11:32, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, on the basis it appears to be an WP:UNDUE level of detail about football results, teams and team changes, for this semi-professional football team, based solely on the club website. I can't find any news coverage online about this season's matches. Sionk (talk) 17:43, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - no evidence of notability. If sources are found please ping me. Giant Snowman 18:19, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. While I should declare an interest as a fan and contributor (who has made a huge effort to improve the quality of the main club page, see the update history), FA Full-Time is a decent source of information for match information at this level of the women’s game. I also plan to introduce a transfers section to improve the page quality. On a general note, I object to the idea that creation of articles at this level of the women’s game to lack notability. Information about the game is improving and gatekeeping that knowledge is a barrier to growth. Hailnolly (talk) 05:37, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

FA Full Time is not significant coverage, it's just a collection of statistics about the league nor do I see any special attention being given to Nottingham Forest over other teams in the division. Per WP:IS, it is also not independent of the subject as the FA manages the league in question. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 09:33, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I totally accept the point about WP:IS. Hailnolly (talk) 18:44, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete there doesn't look to be significant enough coverage to pass WP:GNG. Joseph2302 (talk) 11:39, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
