Merge into the page for the team, or (if there are a large number of seasons) into a single page on all seasons of this team. bd2412 T 00:59, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
Delete Does not appear to pass WP:GNG based on my search of Google news archive. See results here. St. Norbert is a Division III program (the lowest level in the NCAA hierarchy), and such teams generally do not get a lot of coverage in mainstream, independent media sources. A search of google news archive indicates that the St. Norbert football program does get some coverage in Milwaukee (and, to a lesser extent, Chicago) newspapers. If someone could demonstrate that there is substantial coverage of the 2010 team, I'd reconsider my "delete" vote. Separately, the article in its current form is more in the nature of an almanac entry than an encyclopedia article. The article merely repeats the information already published at the on-line sports almanac, college football reference.com. Cbl62 (talk) 23:30, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Per failed first nomination, and lack of good faith on the part of the nominator for failing to attempt to find alternative solutions to deletion. Ejgreen77 (talk) 15:57, 22 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. EJ, the first nomination "failed" because the nominator submitted multiple season article from multiple teams in a single AfD, and multiple AfD participants felt that the articles should be considered individually, not en masse. That sort of "no consensus" situation practically invites a resubmission of the articles individually; this is not a "bad faith" AfD given the circumstances. I urge you to reconsider your choice of words: the AfD nominator has done absolutely nothing wrong in resubmitting this article individually. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 17:43, 22 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Dirtlawyer, my main complaint here is that the nominator has continued to rush to AfD without attempting to dialogue at either my talk page, WP:CFB, or on any of the talk pages of the individual articles. I would be willing to consider a merge to a List of St. Norbert Green Knights football seasons article, or as sub-sections of the main St. Norbert Green Knights football article. The nominator has made no attempt to explore any other alternative solutions besides deletion. Certainly between the first and second nominations, there should have been an attempt to dialogue about finding an alternative solution to these articles. That's just common courtesy.

Delete. Concur with Cbl62's analysis above; this article about a non-notable single season about a minor college football program, and there is insufficient in-depth coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources to establish notability per WP:GNG. In such event, the only alternative is to combine this season with others for the same team by decade, coaching tenure, or other logical grouping, per WP:CFBSEASON.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
