2022 Keystone Giants football team

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Nothing here indicates this subject meets the WP:NSEASONS. Finished the season with a losing record in one of the worst NCAA Division III conferences. Let&#39;srun (talk) 01:15, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Keystone Giants football. BeanieFan11 (talk) 01:22, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Redirects in such cases are a mistake. When a reader looks at the team navbox (Template:Keystone Giants football navbox), a redirect fills in a redlink and creates the impression that a season article exists. Our general practice in the college football project has long been against creating such redirects for seasons where no article exists and we are simply redirecting to the overarching program article. Where no stand-alone article exists for either the particlar year (or a "decade" or "coaching tenure" article), the redlink should remain. Cbl62 (talk) 02:49, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
 * You do have a point, but do you think that there'd be any season-merger-type article for this small school that would make notability? (a Keystone Giants all-time football record, maybe? Though not proposing for one here) BeanieFan11 (talk) 03:05, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
 * The most likely candidate IMO would be 2022 Eastern Collegiate Football Conference season, but I know from experience that creating and sourcing such an article is a shit-ton of work. See, e.g., 2019 Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association football season. Cbl62 (talk) 03:13, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Yeah I... don't want to write that . I was thinking with redirecting at least the history is saved in case anyone did want to do some kind of article like that, but I'm fine with your suggestion as well. BeanieFan11 (talk) 03:34, 5 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Delete. Fails WP:GNG. This is an article about a fourth tier, small-college football team that did nothing special and compiled a 3–7 record. Moreover, the article lacks any citations to Independent sources let alone sources that contain WP:SIGCOV. Cbl62 (talk) 02:49, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
