A pair of relatively non-notable seasons for the Iowa Wrestling Team. The only really significant detail I can find is the "filling a football field" trivia, but that could easily be a one-sentence mention on the main article. Primefac ( talk) 15:51, 19 April 2017 (UTC)

- Comment I can't decide how to vote at this time. When I look at the criteria at WP:NSEASONS I can argue both sides. The fact that the team finished second and fifth in the NCAA championships argues for inclusion as "post-season appearances" as does the number of NCAA wrestling championships (23 for Iowa) won ("For programs considered elite in a sport ...many or all seasons might be notable regardless of the outcome". On the other hand, the arguments for deletion include "Team season articles should consist mainly of well-sourced prose, not just statistics and lists of players" and this article has little prose and the sources are lists of results (routine sports reporting). In addition, college wrestling is not on the same level in terms of coverage or general interest as sports such as football or basketball. Papaursa ( talk) 19:57, 23 April 2017 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
