Does not appear that individual seasons of this athletic association are notable. Safiel (talk) 17:04, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

FWIW, unlike previous seasons, the men's basketball tournament is now on TV, like UAAP Season 78 and NCAA Season 91 so there's some semblance of notability. –H T D 22:24, 7 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect for now to National Athletic Association of Schools, Colleges and Universities or to a List of NAASCU seasons article. Even if it is now broadcast on television, there's rather little coverage for the season (unlike UAAP and NCAA games) and the league as a whole, so there simply isn't much to write about. No prejudice against a full article if more sources come out. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 13:08, 11 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
This is almost patently false. After every gameday, the newspapers always have something about the results the day before. There is plenty of sources to go around. –H T D 16:48, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. There are no articles for any of the first fourteen seasons and it is too soon to say whether this season will be notable. NewYorkActuary (talk) 21:21, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
There aren't any articles of the first 14 seasons of the UAAP or the NCAA (granted, they happened prior to World War II), but it ain't stopping the creation of UAAP Season 77 and NCAA Season 90. –H T D 16:48, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You could have made a stronger argument. There are no articles on the first 54 seasons of the UAAP and none for the first 74 seasons of the NCAA. Unless you count the articles covering only basketball. The earliest season on UAAP basketball covers Season 50 (1987), but this article wasn't written until 2011. The earliest season on NCAA basketball covers Season 63 (also 1987), but this article also wasn't written until 2011. I am aware that you are the person who created both article and I am not suggesting that you should have done it sooner. What I am saying is that, by the time you wrote those articles, both organizations had existed for decades and plausible claims of notability could be made for the individual seasons. And that's what's missing in the instant case. Notability for individual seasons of the NAASCU has not been established and this article was created before the season even started. The whole things smacks of "too soon". NewYorkActuary (talk) 18:32, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect. Instead to the List of NAASCU seasons, to make sure the list is properly handled. - Supergabbyshoe

But there is no "List of ..." page. If kept, this would be the only article on any of the association's seasons. NewYorkActuary (talk) 23:20, 18 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Well uh, this pretty much refutes every oppose vote on this page. What now? This has three reliable sources, two of which are independent of the subject (the first is connected with the association so it's "unreliable".)–H T D 16:48, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect I see that it currently redirects and seems to be an appropriate choice. Heyyouoverthere (talk) 04:01, 25 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
