2015–16 The New Saints F.C. season

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Contested prod with the reason given that the season meets WP:GNG as they are playing in the UEFA champions league. In fact they are playing in the first qualifying round. The two games they will play in this round do not meet GNG as they are not games in the competition proper. In general the club do not satisfy the generally held consensus that only football teams playing in fully professional leagues are sufficiently notable in themselves to justify individual season articles.

Strong Keep via WP:GNG. It is still the Champions League regardless of what round. Quidster4040 (talk) 20:46, 24 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - please show where consensus is documented that playing in the first qualifying round matches in the champions league means a club's whole season is notable for an individual article. This has never been documented and makes no sense. Why would one or two qualifying games make a season notable? Fenix down (talk) 20:49, 24 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:NSEASONS. Number 5 7 08:55, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete – Not playing in a Fully professional league and to play in first qualifying round of Champions League is not notable enough (it is qualifying). If a team has reached the competition proper I would say it can pass WP:GNG but the likelihood if this team doing that is practically zero and article is currently not notable.
