Unremarkable seasons for the Olivet Comets, a Division III college football team. Olivet College is a small college with only 1,040 students. Division III seasons should be limited to something extraordinary which these are not. No sources in articles to show that these season would pass WP:GNG and a WP:BEFORE search does not find such sources.

Delete no comment on the DIII status but none of these seasons pass WP:GNG. SportingFlyer T·C 01:20, 29 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
FWIW, see past Division III season article AfDs: 2017 Wisconsin-Whitewater (closed as merge); 2008 Buffalo (closed as delete); 2008 St. Norbert (closed as delete); 2012 Chicago (closed as delete). Cbl62 (talk) 02:43, 29 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Olivet Comets football. Not notable as others have mentioned, but WP:NSEASONS suggests a redirect is appropriate in this case. Smartyllama (talk) 18:52, 29 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that Redirect per WP:NSEASONS would be a better choice.--Paul McDonald (talk) 02:01, 30 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I might be inclined to support redirect if there were a meaningful place to redirect, but in this case the Olivet Comets football article is a one-sentence sub-stub which in its entirety reads: "The Olivet Comets football program represents Olivet College in college football at the NCAA Division III level."

Sometimes we have to create the destination. I suggest that re-directing to a season article for the conference is one place. The aforementioned Olivet Comets football is another.--Paul McDonald (talk) 13:24, 31 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
