Fall 1931 American Soccer League

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Only a simple score chart. No content. WP is not a directory or almanac of sports stats Shadowjams (talk) 07:33, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge : This category to create a large list of all the results. I don't think there's enough information to create a standalone article for each season or half season, but if they were merged together would create a fairly decent article that would support the main American Soccer League article that currently links to each individual article.

 * Merge to Amercian Soccer League or userfy . I think we have a larger problem here, with an editor creating a bunch of no-context stubs  at the same time.  I have zero respect for that method of contributing to Wikipedia, which consists of creating more articles than one has time to actually work on, in hopes that the more that you have, the less likely it is that they will be nominated for deletion.  We saw this last year with the mass creation of foreign relations articles, and I know from websites that there have been lots of soccer leagues and lots of seasons.

 * Strong keep I didn’t create all the articles about individual ASL seasons. I did add this one which was missing. However I believe these articles are legitimate. Many other leagues have a season by season entry on Wiki. Do we delete them all ? I appreciate the article is not up to to Wiki standard but that can easily be sorted. It is easy to nominate articles for deletion, try improving them instead. Also this was not a half season as implied above, but a season in its own right.

 * Neutral - The article now has text and is a true article. That fixes my concern (note that only someone familiar with the topic could really sum up a season as required). Shadowjams (talk) 23:22, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Now that it has text, all concerns about the article are a moot point. At the time (1931), the ASL was the highest level of professional soccer in the United States.  Mandsford (talk) 12:03, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep - a season article about a top-level, professional league is definitely worth an article. Maybe a clean up of POV, and a few sources, could make it into a decent article. GiantSnowman 12:14, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep: Happy with article since clean-up Metty 15:09, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - Article has been edited with worthy content. Nom no longer applies.  GauchoDude (talk) 03:53, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
