Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/1978 VCU Rams men's soccer team

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 delete. Although there are a number of keep votes, they all rely on erroneous rationales. Those which rely on WP:NSEASONS are unsatisfactory since that guideline requires the team to have qualified at a minimum for the NCAA I Championship. In none of the seasons up for discussion did this team qualify. Those which rely on WP:EVENT are also unsatisfactory given that there is essentially no sourcing in any of these articles which is not clearly primary, even in the couple of articles which contain sufficient sourced prose to not be immediate WP:NOTSTATS failures. The simple fact of the matter here is that the initial arguments are robust and have not been rebutted in any way. There is no evidence that any of these seasons have received sufficient significant reliable independent coverage as a subject rather than a synthesis of match reports to satisfy wider GNG.
