Subject doesn't meet the WP:NSEASONS and has a lack of WP:SIGCOV. Team compiled an ordinary 4-3 record. Let'srun (talk) 02:14, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A search of Newspapers.com turns up a good deal of coverage. I've added a few pieces. Cbl62 (talk) 03:47, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's one to have a one-off season article like this. I'd suggest merging this to a decade list article, but that doesn't exist. But having an ordinary record isn't an issue... SportingFlyer T·C 10:03, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Enough coverage to pass WP:GNG. Cbl62 (talk) 16:43, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Cbl62. Jweiss11 (talk) 05:18, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Keep, per above. Passes GNG. BeanieFan11 (talk) 23:47, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Lewis & Clark Pioneers football. This now-Division III team is not significant enough to need individual season articles. Reywas92^Talk 16:02, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- By what measure is it "not significant enough"? BeanieFan11 (talk) 16:08, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. There is enough coverage to support an article. It might be better to group coverage of this particular team into decades rather than seasons, but that's an editorial question. The sources present in the article support notability. Eluchil404 (talk) 00:21, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
