2012–13 Hyde F.C. season

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Consensus has developed that club season articles are not appropriate for clubs not playing in fully-professional leagues. The 2013–14 Hyde season article was also deleted at AfD, and there are multiple other examples, e.g. here, here, here, here etc (more can be provided if required).

 * Delete - per consensus noted above. There is significant sourced prose in this article in terms of volume, but neither the text presented, nor the sources cited, discuss the season itself, it is merely an aggregation of routine match reports and essentially only duplicates the list of results in word form in the main.

 * Delete per clear consensus at Articles for deletion/2013–14 Hyde F.C. season, and in the absence of the team/league promotion to the appropriate level of professional play, allowing future articles in the line to be deleted WP:G4 Chris  lk02  Chris Kreider 15:43, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - no evidence of notability. GiantSnowman 17:43, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - The deletion discussion Articles for deletion/2013–14 Hyde F.C. season was for an article that wasn't very well referenced in comparison to this one. The other referenced discussions were or articles that well may not meet general football notability requirements, however they also didn't seem to meet WP:GNG. A few of the 120+ references in this article do meet WP:GNG, and thus the other examples are not relevant. Nfitz (talk) 19:56, 31 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Starting from number 1 ... 4 looks good . Looking elsewhere,, . In particular, they received coverage about their promotion to Conference National for this season .  People are acting like this is some kind of aberration - yet most teams in this league have seasons pages. Nfitz (talk) 03:01, 6 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Classic WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS; the ones that have been taken to AfD (this and this) were both deleted. I will be nominating the remainder for deletion after this discussion is closed. Number   5  7  12:16, 6 June 2015 (UTC)
 * It doesn't matter that WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS - my point is that it meets WP:GNG. It's not surprising that WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS given that the teams are in a national level league where some of the teams are fully professional and all get national level coverage that most of the seasons of teams that play in this level will meet WP:GNG. Nfitz (talk) 21:28, 6 June 2015 (UTC)
 * I could create a fully referenced season article for clubs playing in the ninth and tenth levels of English football, but it doesn't mean they are in any way notable. Consensus is fairly clear that season notability follows player notability, and that seasons for non-fully pro clubs are not notable. Number   5  7  10:45, 7 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Consensus is most certainly not clear. There have been a handful of low profile AFDs for some poorly referenced articles that may well not have met WP:GNG. However we shouldn't ignore that the meeting WP:GNG trumps anything else. If local teams playing in a county league at the tenth level of English football somehow meet WP:GNG with the extensive national coverage that the often fully-professional teams in this national league get ... then they should have individual seasons articles - though that does seem unlikely.

 * It would appear that pretty much everyone else disagrees with you re consensus. Number   5  7  07:36, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
