No evidence that a one or possibly two game season was notable when what we have amounts to a cancellation notice, a game report and a database.

I actually think a redirect to Johnson_C._Smith_Golden_Bulls_and_Lady_Golden_Bulls#Football would be fine, but since the PROD was contested I'm bringing it here for larger discussion. Star Mississippi 01:21, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to and create Biddle football, 1910–1919, which would probably be the best way to cover the short seasons of the 1910s J. C. Smith Golden Bulls. BeanieFan11 (talk) 01:29, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to and create Biddle football, 1910–1919 per BeanieFan11. Cbl62 (talk) 02:17, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Merge seems to be the right choice here, not only as WP:N (which would be enough) but also as an editing choice per essay WP:CFBSEASON.--Paul McDonald (talk) 15:57, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to and create Biddle football, 1910–1919, I'm with BeanieFan and Cbl, it seems to make the most sense. Hey man im josh (talk) 11:34, 22 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Move to Biddle football, 1910–1919: The above arguments convince me that a merger would be the appropriate course of action. Given that the appropriate article does not exist, let's make it exist. A page move would also have the nice side-effect of decreasing the number of {{copied}} templates at Talk:Biddle football, 1910–1919 by one. House Blaster^talk 20:59, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, we only need 1 {{copied}} total, at the 1912 Biddle football team article. Bundle it along in this AfD? — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi! (投稿) 01:01, 4 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Same comment. We can't merge an article to a nonexistent page. In the absent of an existing Merge target, I'd have to go with the nominator's suggestion to redirect this article. And it's too late to bundle another article into this nomination which should be done at the onset of a discussion.

Move to Biddle football, 1910–1919 per HouseBlaster, or as a second choice delete due to the apparent lack of notability of this one- or two-game football season. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 19:46, 4 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Move to Biddle football, 1910–1919, and then if there is subsequent consensus to do so, the 1912 Biddle football team and 1914 Biddle football team can be merged there as well. This essentially amounts to the same thing as what was being suggested by the "merge and create" !votes above. Rlendog (talk) 14:09, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment no more relisting. WP:RELISTINGISEVIL - we have a snowball decision. Please ignore all rules and just do it.--Paul McDonald (talk) 15:16, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nom comment for closer. I am fine with this as a solution to no existing merger target. Star Mississippi 15:30, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I have started Biddle football, 1910–1919. I apologize for being so late in doing this. BeanieFan11 (talk) 15:44, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
