*'''Keep''' - Even leaving aside that this is part of quite a sad and pathetic crusade to purge women's soccer articles, this particular one clearly meets GNG. As others have noted, there is currently elevated "Sigcov" around English women's football. That might not be to everybodies' tastes but please remember Misplaced Pages is not the place to try and "right great wrongs". ] (]) 17:51, 9 October 2020 (UTC) *'''Keep''' - Even leaving aside that this is part of quite a sad and pathetic crusade to purge women's soccer articles, this particular one clearly meets GNG.

  • Delete - fails GNG/NSEASONS. GiantSnowman 11:43, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
  • Keep the sourcing in the article doesn't demonstrate GNG, but a cursory before search shows the club and league is receiving ongoing coverage this year. SportingFlyer T·C 13:51, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
  • Keep there is significant coverage surrounding the top two flights of women's football in England at the very least to the point where these fully professional teams meet GNG. Propose WP:COMMONSENSE is applied to the fact that while the second-tier is not fully professional, those teams that are professional in that division meet GNG and at worst the article simply needs expanding and improving, just like the vast majority of EFL League Two team's season articles which have the same issues but are left published. To have 92 men's team season articles and actively go out of the way to limit women's team season articles to 12 seems incredibly problematic. The current notability criteria was created with the men's league's in mind and needs to be adapted to fit GNG teams in women's football. Hjk1106 14:14, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
  • Delete - fails GNG/NSEASONS. Dougal18 (talk) 16:21, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
  • Suggestion - maybe we should move this to the draft space until GNG is demonstrated? Spiderone 17:54, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
  • Potentially although per my earlier concerns regarding NSEASONS criteria created without taking the structure of women's football into account, may I suggest a simple solution would be to mirror the fact that all men's season articles that fit GNG do so by virtue they are also eligible for the nation's premier league cup (e.g. EFL Cup). Applying the same logic to the women's equivalent (e.g. FA Women's League Cup) would enable professional teams who would otherwise meet GNG but get relegated to the second tier and still compete in the professional league's cup competition, do not lose notability on a broadstrokes technicality. Per this example, semi-pro teams like Blackburn Rovers and Charlton Athletic would still not meet GNG but professional second tier teams such as Liverpool and London City Lionesses would. Appreciate the feedback. Hjk1106 21:07, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
It was obvious when the WP:Footy lads came for the Doncaster Belles season articles that the "end game" would be a purge of all women's season articles. That's why I was surprised and disappointed that yourselves who spend hours doing such great work on them never bothered your arses to !vote in the recent AfDs. Don't worry, there is the opportunity for you to remedy this oversight at Misplaced Pages:Deletion review/Active#9 October 2020.
