There is no evidence that the Clippers' mere six seasons while located in San Diego warrants a separate article. Per guideline WP:N, a notable topic is not a guarantee that a topic will necessarily be handled as a separate, stand-alone page. Editors may use their discretion to merge or group two or more related topics into a single article. As it is, this current version is pretty much a copy-paste (and without proper attribution) from Los Angeles Clippers § 1978–1984: San Diego Clippers. Articles on individual seasons in San Diego (e.g. 1978–79 San Diego Clippers season) already exist.[1] From what I can tell, article creator Azure1233 had been edit warring at San Diego Clippers (history) to covert it from a redirect to a standalone page, and has ignored early advice in August from Lithopsian to discuss the issue. —Bagumba (talk) 04:54, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nomination. In addition, WP:NBA does not create such pages. – Sabbatino (talk) 08:07, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Consensus is to generally NOT create stand-alone pages for previous incarnations of NBA teams. The exceptions occur when the former name had a lot of history to it (like the Seattle SuperSonics), but that isn’t the case here. Rikster2 (talk) 15:34, 29 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
