Not clear that a team that does not have its own article should have its own season summary page. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 17:17, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I started the page today (Nov 23), using the format from the Louiville page. I am working on changing the content, as well as creating a team page. It's a work in progress and I ask for some patience. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Smcollin33 (talk • contribs)

Question. What is the notability standard for college teams and their season pages? Abductive (reasoning) 21:24, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: That's not the issue the nominator brought up - it was that there is no South Florida Bulls article. Pats1 ^T/C 03:20, 24 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per precedent of other NCAA Division I teams. I don't think it matters that a team page has not yet been created. Location (talk) 00:40, 24 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Exactly. Pats1 ^T/C 03:20, 24 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I agree with that. Someone is certainly welcome to create a page called South Florida Bulls men's basketball, but there's no rule that such a page has to be created before an article about the 2009-10 season is made. Mandsford (talk) 16:08, 24 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep No rule that says a program's article MUST come before an article on a specific season. Nominator has not provided a valid reason for deletion.--Giants 27(Contribs|WP:CFL) 22:33, 24 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
