Per WP:NSEASONS, only professional football league clubs qualify for season articles. As Notts County is now non-league, this article now fails the policy. Govvy (talk) 13:20, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

• Delete per WP:NSEASONS failure. I'm not convinced that these articles are of much particular value even for clubs in fully-pro leagues, so the last thing we need is to have more for clubs further down the pyramid. Number 57 13:23, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. If sources are found to give a possible GNG argument then please ping me. GiantSnowman 14:04, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
• Delete we've done this before, National League seasons are never notable enough. Joseph2302 (talk) 15:31, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
• Delete. I'm dubious about whether club season reviews are worth having unless it's a club like Liverpool or Man City which is in the top-level honours. I think this fails NSEASONS and don't see any way for it to meet GNG. No Great Shaker (talk) 16:37, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
• Comment some National League seasons have survived AFD in the past. This team has had over 150 seasons or so in a row in the Football League. Has everyone done their due diligence and confirmed there are no GNG sources? Nfitz (talk) 17:42, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
  • Since 2010 only one AfD on National League club seasons has resulted in a keep decision. Three ended in no consensus (one of which was deleted when renominated). The other 17 ended in delete verdicts. Whilst you're technically correct that some articles have survived AfD, it is very much the exception than the rule. Number 57 21:19, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
    • Certainly - but a powerhouse famous historic club like Notts County could well be the exception that proves the rule (and I say this without having had the chance for a good search for GNG). The point is though that User:Joseph2302's claim that they are never notable is 100% false. Nfitz (talk) 21:59, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:NSEASONS this has happened before and the consensus is that club season pages outsides the Football League should be deleted. I created a season for a team that was playing in the 5th tier and it was deleted for the same reason. REDMAN 2019 (talk) 11:58, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
