2000–01 Perth Glory SC season

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This page fails WP:NSEASONS as the club wasn't in a professional league at the time with the National Soccer League being semi-professional at the time. HawkAussie (talk) 04:19, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete as I don't think there's enough for GNG. Ping me if you disagree so I can reconsider. GiantSnowman 16:07, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment -, as the creator, most of the Australian media of that era is paywalled or not available online. I'm not too bothered if this gets userfied until I get access to sources to prove it passes WP:GNG. Hack (talk) 02:17, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep Looking at the sources presented in the article (I don't have access to them but am familiar with the West Australian) I'd be extraordinarily surprised if this failed WP:GNG. This was a top flight league at the time and while I'm not sure every club in the league would necessarily meet WP:GNG for a season article, but the Moffat/Cook/Hughes coverage for the WA should all be significant, and WP:NSEASONS is not exclusionary.

 * Keep - I think SportingFlyer aid it well above. Macosal (talk) 12:18, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep - agree with SportingFlyer. Deus et lex (talk) 07:52, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep, per WP:SEASONS, the league was a top professional league–the notability guideline doesn't specify the level of professionalism. I'm not sure how you're supposed to prove WP:GNG for a sporting season but I've provided a series of references in the article showing the breadth of coverage the club received for their season. I don't have access to the archives for The West Australian that I had when I created the article but their coverage of the preseason matches shows an example of the level of local interest in the team at the time.

 * "Professional" in this context clearly does not mean "semi-professional", because that is the same as "semi-amateur". GiantSnowman 11:29, 13 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep played in top-flight league, with over 100 references - some of them pretty serious. Poor nomination. Nfitz (talk) 23:04, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment It wasn't originally over 100 references because at the time it was 44 references with most of those references being the ozfootball references. HawkAussie (talk) 02:34, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
 * And yet User:HawkAussie even then it had 11 other references than the 33 from that site. 10 from a well known mainstream newspaper (The West Australian) with one of the highest circulations in the country! You should have withdrawn this already rather than wasting time highlighting your WP:BEFORE failure! Nfitz (talk) 03:53, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
