Prairie College Conference (1988)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This article and Prairie College Conference (1953–1967) were created in 2015 by User:Wmtribe2015 based on the now-defunct College Football Data Warehouse, which dealt with only football and suggested these were two different conference with this name. Research on Newspapers.com suggests there was one conference named "Prairie College Conference" that operated from 1953 to 1991 and sponsored an array of sports. Football was sponsored only from 1953 to 1967 and again in 1988. Jweiss11 (talk) 19:38, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Good catch. I'd also be fine with a redirect to Prairie College Conference. Cbl62 (talk) 19:54, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom, no need to have separate article if it was the same conference. PCN02WPS  ( talk  &#124;  contribs ) 20:15, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. 1 article suffices. Nigej (talk) 21:20, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. No need to duplicate. SportsGuy789 (talk) 20:02, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete/Redirect to Prairie College Conference, per all above. Ejgreen77 (talk) 17:08, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't think the redirect would be useful as it's an implausible alternative spelling based only on an erroneous, limited interpretation of the facts by College Football Data Warehouse. Similarly the redirect from Prairie College Conference (1953–1967) should be deleted. Jweiss11 (talk) 19:35, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
 * The argument for a redirect would be as follows: Per WP:RFD "If someone could plausibly enter the redirect's name when searching for the target article, it's a good redirect. Redirects are cheap." Here, "Prairie College Conference (1988)" is a variation that an editor might plausibly enter since it has received over 700 page views and is a term used in the College Football Data Warehouse. A redirect would avoid creation of a dead end.  That said, the plausibility is in a gray area, and as I noted above, I am fine with "delete" or "redirect".
