Non-notable season for a non-notable team from a barely notable high school. No national standing, no non-local news coverage, fails in just about every way. 69.181.249.92 (talk) 16:35, 8 October 2010 (UTC) ~~ GB fan ~~ 16:50, 8 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Normally high school football teams are not notable, and this team does not appear to be an exception. Nice looking article, though... too bad WP:ILIKEIT is not a reason to keep. I suggest the authors try another wiki.--Paul McDonald (talk) 20:34, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - high school footballs teams are not notable. Eagles 24/7 (C) 20:36, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge a few sentences to President William McKinley High School, high school team seasons aren't notable. But there is no reason to delete the content completely. Secret ^account 02:07, 12 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to President William McKinley High School#Athletics per Secret. 2010 McKinley Tiger football has three reliable sources, so is not solely composed of original research. Therefore, a merge to the high school article is acceptable per WP:PRESERVE. Cunard (talk) 07:21, 16 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Consensus has long held that only state championships are worth even a mention in the main article of a high school. This team has not won the state championship. Given that there are over 100,000 big high schools in the US, one can imagine that one could have an article (or redirect) for each sport, for boys and girls, for each year, for each high school, and presto, in no time Wikipedia has between 1 and 100 million new articles or redirects.

Delete - lack of significant coverage in reliable sources. PhilKnight (talk) 17:12, 16 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - for above reasons, no need for redirect. --Bejnar (talk) 18:08, 16 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
