Google shows only 3 sites; lacks notability. Also, it contains some peacocks. Kayau Voting IS evil 10:15, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – Season articles for top-level sports teams are typically going to be notable enough for articles. There is always going to be coverage from news outlets, from pre-season predictions to reports during a season to post-mortem recaps. I would frankly be stunned if such coverage didn't exist for a team in a major soccer league like Serie A (hint: the exact title of the page may not be the best search term). This will probably lead to some hits that can help improve the article, if necessary. Also, the peacock terms can just be removed/reworded; I don't see why they should factor into the article's notability, which is what we are discussing here.

- Chievo was a top team in Serie A at that stage, and several of its players were included in national teams. Chievo per se is not a big club, but its seasons when it was a newcomer team at the Italian stage, deserve to be covered, simply because the league is such known internationally. Also, newcomers normally don't perform at Chievo's level in the period of 2001-2003. The second thing worth mentioning is that several season articles exist about a minor Romanian side, and nobody does anything about it. So, case should be closed. Thank you.

Keep as above. Giant Snowman 20:25, 22 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per above. A season overview of a Serie A club is certainly notable. Sir Sputnik (talk) 08:46, 28 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
