The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was keep. The consensus is that even if it is WP:TOOSOON for an article, it's close enough that it's not worth deleting the page. (non-admin closure) power~enwiki (π, ν) 04:06, 21 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete I'm usually tolerant of jumping the gun a little in article creation, but there's nothing except a date the season will be announced, and there was false info in the citation to pretend the link led to info on 18/19 when it was actually key dates for 17/18. A brief topic ban might even be appropriate. Fake citations hurt Wikipedia. Jack N. Stock (talk) 02:58, 14 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete WP:TOOSOON. No context and the only reference Key dates for the 2017/18 season is unrelated. Hhhhhkohhhhh (talk) 05:40, 14 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep but need improving. now have some sources. So pass WP:BALL Note some information fails WP:NOTSTATS. Hhhhhkohhhhh (talk) 10:33, 14 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - article can be recreated closer to the season. Kees08 (Talk) 06:19, 14 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - Similar discussions have already been held regarding next season, see the AfD for Chelsea's 2018–19 season which resulted in a speedy keep and a discussion at WP:Football also largely supported keeping articles. @Jacknstock:, the ref was not a fake, the information it is sourcing is at the bottom of the page and the user had used the section heading rather than the page title as the ref name. I've added a few extra refs and some more info anyway. Kosack (talk) 07:19, 14 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep We are going to need the article, I don't see why we need to straight up delete these articles and recreate a little bit later, given a bit of time I am sure editors will populate it with content. Govvy (talk) 11:05, 14 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment i think sometimes it should be bold to turn these into redirect in April instead of starting an afd discussion which may relisted several time to end in May, which at that time it would be influx of solid information. People are hyped to have their first article even it did not had any real information (routine start date worth an article?) when it was created in March and still no information in the eve of afd tag. [1] Thanks afd rescue team that yet again after the afd discussion was started good solid information was yet influx into the article....May be i should consider booking 2019–20 Serie A in January 2019 if i find some routine citation to throw in, even it was too bold as WP:TOOSOON at least until May 2019.

If you created those in January, no need to send to AfD, better to create a redirect instead. Hhhhhkohhhhh (talk) 01:25, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, possibly a little premature as no teams are certain of being in League One next season, but arrangements are being made (VAR in playoffs) and one team has been relegated to the lower division. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 07:57, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. I don't think this violates WP:CRYSTAL as it "is notable and almost certain to take place." However, it does violate WP:TOOSOON. But this will cease to be the case as more teams are confirmed for the competition, which will occur in the very near future (possibly by 17 April, and certainly within the next couple of weeks). I don't think it's worth deleting for being slightly too soon. Note that the 2017–18 EFL League One page was created on 1 April 2017, when the first team was confirmed.

• Keep - Per what I have read above. ATZNA 22:48, 15 April 2018 (UTC)This account is a sock Hhhhhkohhhhh (talk) 02:23, 20 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - No realistic chance of this competition not taking place and sufficient sourced material for the article to be started. Fenix down (talk) 13:38, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - CRYSTAL does not apply here. GiantSnowman 17:19, 18 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
