Proposing for deletion alongside this AfD for the same reasons listed at this AfD and this AfD. WP:GNG failure lacking significant coverage and a season that fails the presumption of notability from WP:NSEASONS. Jay eyem (talk) 01:31, 11 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I still think Grand Rapids seasons pass WP:GNG, but the hell do I know. SportingFlyer talk 09:47, 11 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The club is a young club it terms of American soccer and WP:NSEASONS is pretty specific, I don't think individual season articles at this level is the way forward here, it's possible to combined these early years into one article to satisfy GNG but individually these season articles seem to fail GNG by lacking substantial sources.

Delete - no evidence of notability. Giant Snowman 11:30, 11 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - fails GNG and NFOOTY. Many of the listed references would work to give the club notability, but have no relation to the season; quite a few also do not mention the information that they are supposedly providing a reference for. 21.colinthompson (talk) 19:16, 11 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Grand Rapids FC as NSEASONS states "It is strongly recommended that those articles be redirected to the team page if no sourced prose can be created." As others have stated, that's clearly the case here, so the solution is redirection, not deletion. Smartyllama (talk) 16:40, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
