True - merge to
Toronto FC II as appropriate. We don't perhaps need the record against every other team, but the list of players and some of the stats are more relevant.

Comment Other team articles don't have massive lists of former players and
Category Toronto FC II players already fills that use. The records could be useful, but the data is so out of date that it's not useful. It'd effectively need to be completely re-done, so it's more of a
WP:TNT situation in my mind since at least half the stuff is now wrong/outdated.

Comment so apart from the current state of the articles, which is clearly lacking, I don't see what makes this cruft any more than something like
Milton Keynes Dons F.C. league record by opponent. And I know
WP:OSE is a weak argument, but I am unclear as to where the line is drawn. Is it because it is a reserve side? What is the standard required for such an article? Because
WP:NOTSTATS also makes it clear that such articles can exist. Is it a sourcing issue for this particular team? Just trying to clear up what here is the issue.

Comment My reasoning is that it's so out of date, plus the fact it is a reserve side in the third tier. I've basically been the main editor keeping this team's regular page up to date over the last couple of years and even I find this a bit unnecessary, and if I'm not going to update it, it's doubtful anyone will. This was basically last updated after 2016, when the team was founded in 2015. Basically in my mind it's a situation where the article is never going to be fixed and there's next to no interest in it (
page views are next to non existant apart from a sharp spike the day this was nominated), so it's not needed. What's the point of an article with incorrect information.

Hmmm alright, I'm a bit neutral on this. Part of me thinks a
WP:TNT would be appropriate since it is so out of date, but part of me also thinks that the article can be salvaged and that
deletion is not cleanup. I don't want to make a judgement on the notability of the subject without a bit more information, but either way these articles are certainly in need of improvement if not deletion.

Comment I was the nominator, but seeing as there are multiple votes for Merge, I am okay with that and then I will try to clean it up with what's relevant. Obviously some of the stuff might be a little too much for a regular article, but I'll try to work it through. I still prefer delete as my primary option though.
