This article fails the WP:GNG guidelines as the team competes in the semi-professional league which shouldn't allow seasonal articles. I will also be nominating these articles for the same reason:

  • Keep From 1998 till at least 2019 the CPSL/CSL was the highest purely Canadian league, and since the main article qualifies as notable I believe the club should have seasonal articles. Shotgun pete ( talk) 1:30, 24 May 2019 (UTC)

  • Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NSEASONS. The fact that this was the "highest level" is irrelevant, what we care about is the league being fully professional (this wasn't) and it receiving significant coverage (which it hasn't). Non-notable. Giant Snowman 19:49, 25 May 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Delete or draftify depending on the outcome of the discussion - none of the coverage of the season appears to pass WP:GNG as none of it appears independent, the article could be kept if the season was reliably covered in secondary media, but I don't see anything suggesting that's the case at the moment. @ Shotgun pete: Do you have any knowledge of newspaper articles or independent sources which would have covered this season reliably?

    I know for the 2007, 2008, 2009 seasons the club was covered regularly through the various Metroland Media Group newspapers. The articles could be found at their website here are some of the links.

  • Delete per WP:NSEASONS failure. Number 5 7 10:59, 26 May 2019 (UTC) reply
  • DELETE Fails WP:NSEASONS. On the topic of 'regular coverage', WP:ROUTINE specifies that routine coverage of a sports team is not a sufficient basis for an article. As an aside, NSEASONS also specifies that if there is a seasonal page, i.e for a major team, then it should not be a collection of stats, which this page is so there is a content issue in addition to the notability one. ogenstein ( talk) 22:22, 31 May 2019 (UTC) reply
