2024 XFL season

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

This is an odd deletion request. But, because the USFL and XFL plan to merge in 2024, it seems it is too soon to have pages for the 2024 USFL and XFL seasons. Once their future plans are confirmed, an article could be created. Esolo5002 (talk) 19:44, 1 October 2023 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read!

 * Keep for now and merge if/when the merger is finalized. There is still a possibility of a 2024 season for each league if the merger happens too late to complete before February 2024. Both leagues have stated they are moving forward with the status quo until then, so technically, though this may change in the future, the 2024 XFL season is still on. J.

 * Just as a matter of curiousity can you provide a source that says they are going status quo. I couldn't find it. Esolo5002 (talk) 20:42, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
 * It's in the lead paragraph of the article. Not the greatest link (as it is a f/k/a-tweet from a reporter) but the league President released a letter explicitly stating that "The XFL will continue to run business and football operations as usual." From the same source, a USFL statement reads "We remain as focused and committed as ever to deliver a heightened level of excellence for the USFL's third season." J.

 * Keep Even if both leagues merge there's still value in keeping the article as a "cancelled season" (as such pages exist for multiple league throughout the world).StanleyKey (talk) 16:54, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Keep certainly not WP:TOOSOON considering the season will start in less than four months. Also plenty of coverage related to the season and potental merger with the USFL is already present in the article.  If and when the two leagues merge, this and the USFL season can be consolidated into a single page, but the time for that is not now  Frank   Anchor  14:40, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. All the reliable sources I have seen have noted that the merger still requires some sort of regulatory approval. It is still unknown whether this will take place in time before each league is scheduled to begin their respective 2024 regular seasons. And even then, there is still a possibility that the Feds could reject the merger on whatever reason. The leagues must continue to operate separately until then.
