Season articles for clubs outside of the Football League are not generally considered notable, and I can see no evidence why this is any different. Giant Snowman 21:53, 23 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to the parent club's article. In this AfD from August 2012, the nominator stated that the cut-off point is Conference National, and if that is correct this article is about a notable subject and shouldn't be deleted. However, the AfD I linked to was closed as "no consensus" due to having a well-sourced prose. As WP:NSEASONS states that we should redirect season-articles without a well-sources prose to the parent article, this article should be redirected to Woking F.C..

Redirect - as per Mentoz. Any key events can be noted in sourced prose in the club article. Fenix down (talk) 10:20, 24 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Season articles should follow the same notability guidelines as players - e.g. fully pro leagues only. Number 5 7 13:30, 24 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Got to have a cut-off point and this club fails notability by not being in The Football League in my opinion. JMHamo (talk) 05:04, 25 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I don't see the value in redirecting. It's a very unlikely search term: no one is going to search "2012–13 Woking F.C. season" for general information on the club, and focusing on last season is going to be WP:UNDUE/WP:RECENTISM anyway. --BDD (talk) 21:15, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Nominator's statement does not reflect years of consensus at WikiProject Football. There is plenty of precedent for having season articles for Conference Premier clubs; they get loads of independent coverage in reliable sources like BBC Sport, The Non-League Paper, Non-League Daily, Soccerway etc. Not sure where this recent spate of deletion nominations has come from, like I say these articles were considered notable for years due to clearly passing GNG.

Delete - This article has not a single source! From a Google search if you take away references from the cub's website and WP:ROUTINE coverage and nothing is left. There is no reliable source that has written about this club's season. Fails WP:GNG. A redirect would only be justified if it was a plausible search term over and above a search for Woking F.C. - it is not. The Whispering Wind (talk) 23:28, 3 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
