2000 Princeton Tigers football team

This article and a bunch of similar ones were created by a single user on 20 January. I used PROD with the concern that there wasn't enough sourcing to create an actual article, but it was removed. Now I'm taking it here with the same concern. A Google search turns up two results, both from Fox News. One is a roster, the other a schedule. Not much content. -&copy;2016 Compassionate727( Talk )( Contributions ) 16:59, 21 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep - Princeton is among the top 10 most important historical football programs. Indeed, the first American football game was played by Princeton (see 1869 New Jersey vs. Rutgers football game), and Princeton has won 28 national championships (e.g., 1906, 1911, 1920, 1922, 1933, 1935, 1950). While the team's prominence dropped significantly after the 1950s, the team still gets significant coverage in reliable sources so as to satisfy WP:GNG.  I have added a bit to the article, including articles from The New York Times with significant coverage on two of the games.  More can be found when time permits, but, of course, there is no deadline on improving such articles. Cbl62 (talk) 15:53, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep, as argued above by Cbl62. Jweiss11 (talk) 17:02, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep. These season-by-season pages are part of the standard coverage for Ivy League teams (see Category:Harvard Crimson football seasons, Category:Yale Bulldogs football seasons, Category:Brown Bears football seasons, Category:Cornell Big Red football seasons, Category:Dartmouth Big Green football seasons, Category:Penn Quakers football seasons, Category:Columbia Lions football seasons).  This is appropriate given the continuing coverage that Ivy football receives in sports media.  --Arxiloxos (talk) 17:07, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep: Generally speaking, D-I-A or D-I-AA single-season articles are easily sourced and therefore kept. p  b  p  20:52, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Since nobody else has expressed support for my original position, and I've been convinced to abandon mine, I would like to withdraw this request. -&copy;2016 Compassionate727( Talk )( Contributions ) 22:04, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep per Cbl62's sources and improvements to the article. Ejgreen77 (talk) 22:48, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
