Wikipedia is not a football results archive. -- RHaworth 00:46, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete What's the point of that article, and see above comment Whstchy 03:20, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
 * This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of football (soccer) related deletions. ChrisTheDude 07:14, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Conditional keep if, and only if, it is expanded. There's plenty of precedent for articles on individual clubs' seasons, there's even a category for them: Category:English football club seasons (and there are plenty of equivalent articles for baseball, American football, ice hockey, etc etc), but the articles there are much more in-depth and not just a "bare bones" list of results with minimal formatting ChrisTheDude 07:24, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, not Wikipedia material. Punkmorten 08:09, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. An admin will happily recreate it if someone wishes to flesh it out into a proper article. --Dweller 09:52, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per Punkmorten. HornetMike 10:18, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep there is nothing wrong with a professional club having a season article and I have added some content. I am also concerned that the nominator was too quick off the mark - with a new article such as this, that is perfectly capable of being extended, the preferred way forward is to mark it for expansion and allow time for this to happen.

 * Delete - Punkmorten is correct, this is not what wikipedia is about. Ibanix 21:11, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment If the view is that this article is not valid enough to stand on its own as an article, then rather than simply deleting it could it not be merged into the clubs article Lincoln City F.C.? Especially as upon reading it now, after the edits done by TerriersFan, that particular season does seem to have some merit and significance. ♦Tangerines BFC ♦ · Talk 21:43, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete sportcruft. WP != indiscriminate collection of subtrivial factoids. Wile E. Heresiarch 04:29, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete I think dividing by team and season is far too detailed and crufty, and all such articles should be deleted. Qwghlm 10:11, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
