Talk:2017 NCAA Division I men's soccer season

Team season articles
What programs are notable enough to automatically have their own team season articles constructed now? WP:NSEASONS can be somewhat vague as far as elite programs are concerned, but based on the history of NCAA, ISFL, etc. here are some teams I feel like are notable to always have a season article for being "elite".


 * Akron Zips men's soccer
 * Clemson Tigers men's soccer
 * Harvard Crimson men's soccer
 * Indiana Hoosiers men's soccer
 * Maryland Terrapins men's soccer
 * Navy Midshipmen men's soccer
 * North Carolina Tar Heels men's soccer
 * Penn State Nittany Lions men's soccer


 * Penn Quakers men's soccer
 * Saint Louis Billikens men's soccer
 * San Francisco Dons men's soccer
 * Stanford Cardinal men's soccer
 * UCLA Bruins men's soccer
 * Virginia Cavaliers men's soccer
 * Yale Bulldogs men's soccer

There's probably a few more I'm forgetting, but this is based off their all-time history. Obviously, I think this season, teams that win their conference regular season or tournament should be notable enough for their own articles, and I'd like to see the teams that reach at least the quarterfinals get their own articles. Also Stanford may not be as "elite" as some of the other schools, but given the fact they are the two-time defending national champions, I think it's more than fair for them to have their own season articles.

 * Keep any such new articles on your watch list. folks.


 * I had already begun 2017 SIU Edwardsville Cougars men's soccer team. Then I had surgery last week, and, while I was in the hospital, an administrator declared that the statement, "...will represent Southern Illinois University Edwardsville during the 2017 NCAA Division I men's soccer season..." was a  "Failure of WP:CRYSTAL" as "...unverifiable speculation...." and that. "...Wikipedia does not predict the future..." So, he posted the article for Proposed deletion, and, well before I even knew that deletion was being proposed, some fast-fingered administrative deleter had dumped it.

 * The admins here aren't too kind to college soccer. There was a massive heated debate over it awhile back that didn't seem to reach a consensus. I would suggest we make articles that meet GNG in our sandboxes for now in case they get under threat for being "not football or basketball" Cobyan02069 (talk) 01:18, 27 February 2017 (UTC)
