Nfitz: the result of that AFD was "No consensus" and the reason that people were saying to keep it was because back then, 5th tier football club season articles were considered notable whereas nowadays they aren't.

That's not the point though - it's cherry picking to find examples of deletion, and ignore examples from the SAME CLUB that didn't involve deletion.

The bottom line is. The article is not notable and under the same rules that we have right now it would have been deleted back then as well.

I've no idea - haven't even looked for notability. I was asking about the cherry-picking. Rules haven't changed as far as I recall ... but remember that Wikipedia generally does not employ hard-and-fast rules.

You will notice that back then 5th tier football club season articles were accepted. The current consensus is that they are not, which is why this article was AFD'ed in the first place.
