This page highlights a season for a division II football team that didn't make it to their National Championship Game. in 2015, this football team made it to the D2 National Championship and there's no page for that. I see that this article does have references, but all from the same publication, a small newspaper in Martinsburg, WV, and wasn't widely reported as noteworthy. I graduated from Shepherd, and follow the team, but I don't see this article as noteworthy enough for standalone. I personally feel it could be redirected to Shepherd Rams. Very few other Division II programs who make the playoffs have their own article for a particular season. This is my first AfD so please help me with guidance if I'm wrong in this area Spf121188 ( talk) 15:58, 16 November 2021 (UTC) Creating deletion discussion for 2016 Shepherd Rams football team
"A season including a post-season appearance (or, if there is no post-season competition, a high final ranking) in the top collegiate level is often notable."Unsure of other seasons for this team (there is no template I saw), and I realize that my quote specifies "top collegiate level" but I still think this is a notable season.

"A national championship season at a lower collegiate level might be notable."I concede that it's certainly a notable season in that yes, Shepherd won their division in 2016, but the guidance says that an article "might" be notable if they make it to a National Championship game, (Which Shepherd did in 2015, for which there is no article) and did not make it there in 2016. I won't vote on this given that I did graduate from the school, but wanted to note that. That being said, if this article stands, I certainly won't be upset about it.
