2014–15 Académica de Coimbra season[edit]

Extensive listing of sports team player stats. No evidence that the subject meets WP:GNG. Team season articles should consist mainly of well-sourced prose, not just statistics and lists of players. Wikipedia is not a stats directory. - Mr X 02:33, 21 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - per WP:NSEASONS. @MrX: may wish to refresh his knowledge of this as it clearly states that such articles almost always meet notability requirements, so it would be useful to understand why this article does not meet GNG rather than the simple statement that it does not. This is an article about a season related to a club playing in its country's top professional league (and in this case a fully professional one). Furthermore, this is an article about the current season and so is by definition in development, NSEASONS is quite specific that redirects to the club should only be made if no sourced prose CAN be created. Has any attempt been made to contact @Krankl12: to discuss the addition of sourced prose? I can see none. Given that this is clearly a notable subject by current guidelines, I would recommend withdrawing the AfD until discussions are concluded as to whether or not sourced prose can be added (and as this is a club playing a top league in a country whose league is of good international standing it almost certainly can once the season proper gets under way).

Currently, it's purely a stats listing and nothing more. It's simply not ready for publishing in the main space, and it doesn't seem as if the author plans to do anything other than add more stats to it. Note that I did not declare that the subject is not notable; I wrote "No evidence that the subject meets WP:GNG." New page patrollers don't bear the BURDEN of proving that an article is notable, especially when any available sources would presumably be non-English. I don't object to moving the article to draft space or redirecting to the team article until someone adds some sources for verification and some supporting prose so that readers have context.- Mr X 12:26, 22 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
