The topic fails WP:GNG and WP:NSEASONS. This is an article about a Division II team with a losing record. While Division I seasons typically pass the referenced standards, this is not so for Division II. In the past, Division II seasons have only been kept when there is something extraordinary about the season. I see nothing about this article to set it apart from an ordinary Division II season.

FWIW, I believe 2017 Angelo State, 2018 Angelo, and 1974 BU are the last three AfD concerning Division II teams. Cbl62 (talk) 03:31, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Lindenwood Lions football, as a valid search term. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 01:10, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
redirect with no prejudice against re-creration. Sometimes Division II seasons are notable, sometimes they are not. This looks like an enthusiastic editor got started and then stopped, so it's not really adding anything of note to the encyclopedia. Typically Divisoin II programs are handled as a team article or perhaps a conference article for the season... or not at all.--Paul McDonald (talk) 14:47, 21 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This could be easily converted to a better article with the right sources and more information. KingSkyLord (talk | contribs) 00:25, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@KingSkyLord: "the right sources" -- Can you present two or three examples of the significant coverage in reliable, independent sources that you believe would enable this article easily to meet the WP:GNG requirement? Cbl62 (talk) 01:35, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect. There is no consensus to delete this article; the question to be weighed is whether to keep or redirect. ——Serial^# 12:05, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- I think that delete and redirect are kind of the same...--Paul McDonald (talk) 15:27, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
