A particular year's college football team is not notable unless it's covered independently (Brown's "Iron Men" team from the early 1900s, for example). Besides, the season hasn't happened yet, so this is something of a WP:CRYSTAL vio... SarekOfVulcan (talk) 16:33, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep~~ Userfy It's common practice for many teams to have season articles. It's a major "stub" article now, but the articles are often prepped in advance because schedule and other topics come available.--Paul McDonald (talk) 19:52, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Point taken. Not withdrawing, though -- if it's deleted, you can ask for it to be moved into your userspace until later. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 19:59, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
No problem. You posted the AfD in good faith, let's go through the process and make Wikipedia better. (like the "point take" trick above though!)--Paul McDonald (talk) 20:03, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thought it might be better to have an article called 2010 Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference football season ?? It would be one article, more of a "catch-all" and for a smaller conference might be easier to maintain... hmmm... --Paul McDonald (talk) 03:22, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Tabor is a NAIA college which is pretty far from the upper ranks of college football. Do other NAIA colleges normally get articles about their seasons, or is that done mostly for the major colleges? --Metropolitan90 (talk) 06:49, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Not normally, but it also depends on the program, the coach, etc. This coach has three season articles and typically has coached teams that have been nationally ranked. Still, the more I look at it the more I think maybe a season article for the entire conference would suffice--thinking on that one some more. Also, it's not necessarily that other teams don't have season articles but that there are only so many in the college football project and enthusiasm/manpower come into play.--Paul McDonald (talk) 12:38, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
