 * Delete Fails WP:NSEASONS. Almost all previous AfDs on National League seasons have ended in delete. See recent examples like this or this (and all the other previous AfDs referenced in that one). Number   5  7  12:50, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
 * But why ignore that this article was previously at AFD, and wasn't deleted? Nfitz (talk) 05:25, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
 * the result of that AFD was "No consensus" and the reason that people were saying to keep it was because back then, 5th tier football club season articles were considered notable whereas nowadays they aren't. REDMAN 2019  ( talk ) 10:27, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
 * That's not the point though - it's cherry picking to find examples of deletion, and ignore examples from the SAME CLUB that didn't involve deletion. Nfitz (talk) 15:57, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
 * The bottom line is. The article is not notable and under the same rules that we have right now it would have been deleted back then as well. REDMAN 2019  ( talk ) 19:02, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
 * To look at it another way. What reason is there to keep the article? REDMAN 2019  ( talk ) 19:03, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I've no idea - haven't even looked for notability. I was asking about the cherry-picking. Rules haven't changed as far as I recall ... but remember that Wikipedia generally does not employ hard-and-fast rules. Nfitz (talk) 21:18, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
 * You will notice that back then 5th tier football club season articles were accepted. The current consensus is that they are not, which is why this article was AFD'ed in the first place. REDMAN 2019  ( talk ) 12:13, 13 August 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom and N57. GiantSnowman 17:23, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
