1883–84 Black Arabs F.C. season

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I saw this being used in a WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS argument in one of the Gateshead season article AfDs and I don't see how this article is actually one that has been kept for so long unchallenged. It clearly fails WP:NSEASONS as they weren't playing in any league and I can't see how WP:GNG is met. People will argue that there is important info that shouldn't be deleted but anything worth saving could be merged into History of Bristol Rovers F.C. but we certainly don't need a bunch of results against other non-notable clubs.

 * Merge into History of Bristol Rovers F.C.: The club has a long history playing professional football, playing in various fully professional leagues as far as the 19th century. As this was the inaugural season for Bristol Rovers it is significant to the club's history, but there is probably not enough documentation around for the article to expand much beyond its current state. &mdash;  Gas Head Steve [TALK] 10:40, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment:Perhaps there is a case for spltting the first section of History of Bristol Rovers F.C. into a new article History of Bristol Rovers F.C. (1883–92) and merging this article into that. &mdash;  Gas Head Steve [TALK] 10:45, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge per Steve. GiantSnowman 15:08, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete clearly fails WP:NSEASONS, not suitable for a standalone article. Don't know what content is suitable for merging, but if it can be found than I will gladly change my !vote. Inter&#38;anthro (talk) 01:53, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
