1892 South Bend High School football team

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This article concerns a high school American football team. The subject fails WP:GNG and WP:NSEASON. Moreover, we discourage articles about high school seasons, and while an exception might be appropriate in an extraordinary case, this is not such a case. Finally, per WP:NOTINHERITED, playing a game against Notre Dame (a program that was in its infancy in 1892) is not a basis for notability. Cbl62 (talk) 02:48, 23 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Merge content to 1892 Notre Dame football team. Jweiss11 (talk) 02:55, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
 * I added the one newspaper source discussing the ND game to the 1892 Notre Dame article. What other substantive content is it that you believe should be merged? The sentence about games played by South Bend HS against Euglossian and Cleosophic? The sentence about proposed games between South Bend HS and "South End", LaPorte HS, and Goshen HS that may or may not have ever occurred? The sentence about a photograph of the South Bend HS team that has not been found? These details have no relevance to the 1892 Notre Dame article. Cbl62 (talk) 03:22, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
 * I figure some of that could be weaved into a section detailing the Notre Dame vs. Sound Bend HS game. Perhaps, none of it is relevant to 1892 Notre Dame football team. But I certainly agree on the main point that this article should be deleted. Jweiss11 (talk) 04:49, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete "This team may have played games" is a frighteningly poor season article, even by historical standards. SportingFlyer  T · C  04:15, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete I question justificaiton to split the article on any high school football team from the article on the school itself. Doubly so for splitting out the article on the team in a specific season. We have struggled enough to have well sourced articles on high schools, splitting out sourceable content is the last thing we need.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:10, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete- Personally, I have no problem with this article's deletion. It's not very notable, and I could only find one game, so the article is lacking in content as well.  Murphanian777 (talk) 21:45, 23 May 2020 (UTC)Murphanian777
 * Delete Not even a college team. KingSkyLord (talk &#124; contribs) 00:19, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment is there room for an article like high schools who played against colleges in gridiron football games a long time ago ?? Might want to wordsmith the title, but THAT article might e of interest and noteworthy, rather than this and the one being discussed at Articles for deletion/1893 De La Salle Institute football team??--Paul McDonald (talk) 15:40, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
