The result was delete. Consensus is that this does not belong in mainspace. I am not draftiying it because Draft:2023 Canberra Raiders Season already exists and can be improved. Given disruptive re-creation, I have salted the mainspace article to enforce AfC and/or assesment by neutral admin. Star  Mississippi  01:00, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

2023 Canberra Raiders season

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

Simply a case of WP:TOOSOON, lacks significant coverage in multiple independent reliable secondary sources because the season hasn’t even commenced. Has bee moved to Draft:2023 Canberra Raiders season, to allow it to be improved however despite being advised that it had been draftified the article’s creator has simply re-created the same article. As the previous PROD notice was deleted without addressing the issue a soft delete cannot be applied. Dan arndt (talk) 02:23, 16 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Rugby league and Australia. Dan arndt (talk) 02:23, 16 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. The article already includes some useful information, such as player gains and losses for the 2023 season, which I have sourced. WWGB (talk) 03:30, 16 October 2022 (UTC)
 * all of which can be added to the Canberra Raiders, until the season begins or added to Draft:2023 Canberra Raiders season. Dan arndt (talk) 04:39, 16 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. Can be worked on in draft space until the new season begins. J Mo 101 (talk) 15:34, 16 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep - contains sourced information about a season that will take place. Other sports have these in place ahead of a season ending, and Canberra's season finished some time ago.Fleets (talk) 21:09, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Just because other stuff exists, has never been a valid arguement in an AfD debate. This can be easily moved from draft space once more reliable sources are provided closer to the beginning of the 2023 season. Dan arndt (talk) 05:09, 22 October 2022 (UTC)

 * This page should be kept on Wikipedia as it's part of a Sporting Organzine Group. Timmy Jones2000 (talk) 05:07, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Bottom line is that it fails the requirements of WP:GNG,  unless you can prove otherwise. Dan arndt (talk) 05:11, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Do the now 9 sources not effectively cover the five tenets of GNG? A cursory stats search of the Canberra Raiders is an indication of their inherent notability, in addition to the several current sources, and the current splash page on the Raiders website detailing their 2023 backroom staff. I'm a little baffled here as all the basic boxes are ticked, and this needs to be improved, not attacked.Fleets (talk) 08:37, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete while the article does have several sources, I don't think any of them yet show significant coverage of the 2023 season. While the sources about player movements do relate to the 2023 season, they don't in themselves constitute significant coverage because they don't talk about the season itself. The article about the draw (which hasn't been released yet) would be an exception to this if it was about the Raiders, but it's actually about the NRL as a whole. Better to move it to draft space until it satisfies WP:GNG. OliveYouBean (talk) 11:43, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment - did you consider alternatives to deletion? Why not draftify given the article will have to be recreated in a few months. Deus et lex (talk) 10:16, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Merge into 2023 NRL Season, as the season for the Canberra Riders does not seem to have independent notability. 2601:647:5800:4D2:B473:DA3F:2C7B:8141 (talk) 21:06, 6 November 2022 (UTC)
