The result was soft delete. WP:REFUND applies. With 2 deletes and 1 weak keep, and a request being made to the original author for sources, I would go with a SoftDelete here. If someone feels terribly wronged, I'll undelete it without arguments. Lourdes 13:24, 23 November 2019 (UTC) reply

2016 Nay Pyi Taw season

This page fails WP:NSEASONS due to the fact that the team didn't play in the top tier of Myanmar football. I would also like to nominate these two pages for the fact that it might pass WP:NSEASONS with the team in that time being in the top league, the quality of the page is terrible.

• Delete - no evidence of notability. Giant Snowman 14:22, 1 November 2019 (UTC) reply
• Keep (Change to Delete; Change to Weak Keep) - It's a big club in a town of 1 million people. The season has widespread coverage in major national newspapers; sources should be request to the original author. We certainly won't say Arsenal's or Machester United's season is not notable. 2100s ( talk) 19:12, 5 November 2019 (UTC) reply

• Comment - @ 2100s: That is because Arsenal and Manchester United is notable enough as they play in the top league which would be easy enough to satisfy the WP:NSEASONS agreement. Here though, the league is in second tier during the 2016 and 2017 season which might be a struggle to find resources that relate for this team. HawkAussie ( talk) 22:12, 5 November 2019 (UTC) reply

• Ok. Thanks for your research. Then, they should be deleted. 2100s ( talk) 23:20, 6 November 2019 (UTC) reply

• Well, after reading WP:NSEASONS, I am not sure. It doesn't say Lower Leagues aren't notable; it says they may be notable depending on sources. I believe if there are enough fans coming here and start editing, then it can most likely meet notability criteria. For example, 2006–07 Juventus F.C. season is an article even though it's in lower league. WP:NSPORT says leagues in US states are notable. If we use that as a guide, the population of Naypyitaw exceeds many US States. They're some coverage on local newspaper. I am sure this article can meet notability criteria if someone is serious enough. But the problem is whether we'll have that one. 2100s ( talk) 23:33, 6 November 2019 (UTC) reply
