Mirroring the arguments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2018 Grand Rapids FC season (2nd nomination) and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2018 Grand Rapids FC women season: This article contains no prose outside of the lede, and as the team competed in the National Premier Soccer League (a non-WP:FPL), the page fails WP:NSEASONS. The lack of prose also causes a failure of WP:NOTSTATS. In addition, the references are either WP:PRIMARY or WP:ROUTINE, therefore leading to a failure of WP:GNG. The article's first deletion nomination resulted in a Procedural keep. 21.colinthompson (talk) 05:54, 29 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I believe these soccer seasons are good pages but despite having decent arguments to keep the 2018 season it was deleted anyway. Any argument to keep this page is probably futile so I won't bother. Kmitten (talk) 17:43, 29 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: I would change my vote, if someone could demonstrate that there was significant coverage of the team's 2017 season and then went ahead and used that to write prose about it. Right now, there is no article; the encyclopedia entry is merely a collection of statistics organized into tables. It seems the passion associated with keeping these Grand Rapids encyclopedia entries far outpaces the passion that might drive someone to turn them into legitimate articles.
