Deletion Sorting
Project

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to American football. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion
Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
  1. Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
  2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|American football|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
Removing a closed AfD discussion
Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
Other types of discussions
You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to American football. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.
Further information
For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

This list is also part of the larger list of deletion debates related to Sports.

Subject does not meet the WP:GNG due to a lack of significant coverage from secondary sources. A redirect to 1924 Kenosha Maroons season may be preferred as a WP:ATD. Let'srun (talk) 16:37, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Subject does not meet the WP:GNG due to a lack of significant coverage. A before search only came up with some passing mentions. Let'srun (talk) 16:32, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am not aware of a reliable source stating that it was 11C's only game of the season. That may be true, but without a reliable source, I wouldn't be inclined to add it. Redirect seems like the best outcome with or without such a sentence. Cbl62 (talk) 12:15, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If that's the case, I retract my support for redirect and revert to delete only. If "1918 IIC football team" redirects to the summary of a single game, any reader would reasonably infer that this was the team's only game. If we don't have the WP:V to say that, then I'm equally opposed to this as a redirect. Aspirex (talk) 00:16, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Retract away, but redirect is clearly a better option and WP:ATD for anyone searching for information on this team. Your preferred solution gives the reader "zip, zero, nada" whereas a redirect takes the reader to a substantive discussion of the only known game. Cbl62 (talk) 03:15, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
1918 college football season#Independents is a better target. Aspirex (talk) 03:49, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm fine with a redirect. What is interesting to note here though is that this wasn't even the biggest blowout for Georgia Tech this season. Let'srun (talk) 13:16, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed. They had three games in which they outscored opponents by a total of 369-0! Cbl62 (talk) 13:59, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

List of NCAA Division I FCS football independents records

A consensus emerged at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of NCAA Division III independents football records that a list like this fails WP:NLIST and WP:NOTDIRECTORY, because this is a group of loosely-related teams that are not in conferences. A merge to a different article would also be difficult for undue weight issues, as expressed in the previous AfD. A similar AfD (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of NCAA Division II independents football records) resulted in a soft deletion. Eagles 24/7 (C) 14:58, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article fails WP:NLIST. KingSkyLord (talk | contribs) 13:46, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

you misunderstand the role of trainers, especially in the 19th century. Yes the biographical info is a short form of what’s in each bio, and that’s as it should be — the individual bios are the main repositories and this list serves as an overview and navigation aide. Cbl62 (talk) 19:25, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, appears to fail WP:NLIST. I could not find anything that discussed Michigan trainers as a group. Esolo5002 (talk) 06:34, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: Unable to find any coverage from reliable third party sources discussing this grouping to meet the WP:NLIST or WP:GNG. While the trainers might be individually notable, it doesn't equate to notability as a list. Let'srun (talk) 18:44, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete; no indication that this satisfies WP:NLIST as requested by the nomination, namely discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources. I spent some time searching and came up empty-handed in this endeavor. Left guide (talk) 05:27, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Final note: I know that page views are an argument we're not supposed to make, but this article has been viewed almost 5,000 times in the last nine years and is the only connective tissue we have between such major sports figures as Mike Murphy, Edward Moulton, Keene Fitzpatrick, Alvin Kraenzlein, Stephen Farrell, and Archie Hahn. The votes so far ignore that lists are allowed where they serve a useful navigational function. See WP:NLIST ("Lists that fulfill recognized informational, navigation, or development purposes often are kept regardless of any demonstrated notability."). Cbl62 (talk) 22:56, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Cbl62's reasoning. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 23:01, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
