2018 Club Atlético River Plate season

 * – ( View AfD View log  Club Atlético River Plate season Stats )

Article already exists with 2017–18 Club Atlético River Plate season article. Talked with creator (FerchuJenson), who seemed to have misinterpreted Wikipedia guidelines as they thought team seasons should/would be following the continental competitions (Copa Libertadores etc.) rather than the domestic league calendar (Argentine Primera División). Seems an honest mistake. R96Skinner (talk) 16:51, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

Hello, FerchuJenson here.

Not only seems an honest mistake, but is an honest mistake (if it is). If a decision is made and the 2018 season article is deleted, be sure to take all the relevant information that is on the article and merge it with the 2017/18 season. I'm aware of the fact that a 2017/18 season article has been created and developed for nearly each team of Argentinan Top League. However, there are some questions with the 2017/18 article that are still making noise to me:

- I have listed the fixture of River Plate for the 2018 Copa Libertadores (South American Champions League) in the 2018 season article. However, the 2017/18 season article includes the 2017 Copa Libertadores fixture. The thing is: what happens with the matches of 2018 Copa Libertadores? They can´t be listed until July, when the 2018/19 season starts for the Argentinian Top League? Even if 2018 Copa Libertadores is starting today (22 January)? Or perhaps we can list 2017 Copa Libertadores and 2018 Copa Libertadores in the same 2017/18 article? That would be like a 2017/18 Real Madrid Season article with 2017 UEFA Champions League and 2018 UEFA Champions League (this does not happen because UEFA tournaments and Spanish La Liga are both taking place from July to June, but it's not the case with Argentinian League and Copa Libertadores)

- I want to be sure that the wikipedians who will make the decision of delete the 2018 season article are aware of the importance of Copa Libertadores, being the main continental club tournament, the equivalent of UEFA Champions League for CONMEBOL (South American Football Confederation), and the fact that the events should be entered with not so much delay (definitely not six months).

- I assume that for English Language Wikipedia, the main football club tournament in South America is relevant, maybe not as relevant as UEFA Champions League, but relevant anyway. If it is not, all my points won't make sense.

Regards.

 * Delete – this is the case for several leagues in northern and eastern Europe, but has been solved nicely in with splitting the European campaign into two two season articles it takes part in, see e.g. 1979 Malmö FF season, 2008 FC Zenit Saint Petersburg season. // Smartskaft (talk) 14:00, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete As content fork. Follow the European precedent for where to put the Copa info. Smartyllama (talk) 17:26, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
