2017–18 South Shields F.C. season

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article fails WP:NSEASONS by some margin – the club plays in the eighth tier of English football, well below the fully-professional divisions. Prod removed by article's creator. Number  5  7  08:52, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete - Fails WP:NSEASONS. Appreciate that their season might get more than average coverage for a team at this level because Julio Arca plays for them, but I anticipate most of this coverage will be focused on him and should belong in his article, not a standalone season article.

 *  Weak Keep  People tend to forget the match report url's that are in the match statistics section, these act as citations although hidden and I really don't like how they seem hidden in season articles, I see enough for a weak keep on this. Govvy (talk) 18:57, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
 * The match reports are from the club's own website so do not demonstrate any form of notability. Number   5  7  19:51, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
 * O, not so smart, I thought it was independent of the club, I missed that! Delete then. Govvy (talk) 19:56, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete - no evidence of notability. GiantSnowman 19:25, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect to South Shields F.C., which WP:NSEASONS says should be done when the season is not notable but the team or competition is. Smartyllama (talk) 13:25, 5 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Perhaps I'm mistaken, but I read that (the redirecting possibility) as being for when an article is viable but currently only consists of stats. This article doesn't meet the requirements full stop. Number   5  7  14:13, 5 September 2017 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, – filelakeshoe (t / c) &#xF0F6;  11:13, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - As the team doesn't fall in the WP:NSEASONS as they are too low down the English pyrmaid to be notable Matt294069 is coming 05:03, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete clearly excessive; redundant to South Shields F.C. and 2017–18 Northern Premier League. Power~enwiki ( π, ν ) 02:38, 16 September 2017 (UTC)
