Fails
WP:NSEASONS, there is only list of matches with zero prose. Furthermore, I never saw a seasonal articles for the national teams, there is no seasonal articles like "2017 England national football team season", "2017 Spain national football team season" etc.
I am also nominating the following related pages for the same reason:
Delete not needed, standard formatting is to group in 10 years spans.

Keep nothing wrong with recording the matches of a team in detail, there is nothing saying that friendly matches cannot be recorded in detail.

Also the rational of the nominator of these articles should be deleted because articles for say the Spain national team don't exists is classic
WP:OTHERSTUFFDOESNTEXIST.

Then read NSEASONS instead, it is CLEARLY written "Articles can be created on individual seasons of teams in top professional leagues, as these articles almost always meet the notability requirements. Team season articles should consist mainly of well-sourced prose, not just statistics and lists of players. Wikipedia is not a stats directory. It is strongly recommended that those articles be redirected to the team page if no sourced prose can be created.", those article are just a list of matches.

Plus as mention above the matches are already covered in
South Korea national football team results (2010–19), if people want more detail about the matches, then each match has a match report they can click on to read more. NZFC(talk) 05:03, 31 January 2018 (UTC)reply
Merge as above, using collapsible boxes so that the useful information is all available in the two articles and the boxes prevent overloading the page, and rather than deleting the articles they can be converted to redirects. The information is easily verified so maintenance issues are not a problem. This would be a more useful solution than blanket deletions.

Comment What about moving some of them into the seasonal articles like
2017 in South Korean football as that looks like that could be a good place to put it in there as some other seasonal results of national teams are in the season review for that nation.

Delete and Merge, I kind of agree with Hhhhhkohhhhh, collaspable tables formatting would be much better instead of all these forked pages.

Except that ignores
MOS:COLLAPSE, which says "Collapsible templates should not conceal article content by default upon page loading". –

I think we need to have some sort of article that covers each team's World Cup and Euros/Africa Cup of Nations/equivalent cycle. Instead of having one article per year, what I suggest would cover approximately two years, starting with the first qualifier and ending with the final of the competition. Perhaps this wouldn't work, but it would be better than what we have right now. –

I do not think 2 years is better because 2 years will be the same status as or even worse than 1 year 's.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: I am relisting this somewhat reluctantly as I think the guideline based arguments as well as the practical considerations favor deletion. However as there are arguments on the other side I'd like to see if we can get a little closer to something that can be readily identified as consensus.
