Fails
WP:GNG and
WP:NSEASONS. This is an article about a Division III football season where the team was not ranked in the Top 25 in that division and closed with a mediocre 6â4. While considerable effort has been put into the article, the sourcing is not independent and does contribute toward the GNG analysis.

While I understand the growing popularity of
Wikipedia:Redirects are cheap, one concern I have with redirecting here is that it leaves a blue link in
Template:HampdenâSydney Tigers football navbox, creating the impression that an article exists, and likely encouraging an ambitious editor to fill in the remaining redlinks for
2017,
2018,
2019, etc. Also, a redirect makes it too easy for someone to recreate the article since the full text remains in the history. We simply should not have articles for ordinary DIII seasons like this, and the appropriate result IMO remains deletion.
