Delete: I nominated this for PROD for the reason: Fails WP:NSEASONS. Also per WP:NOTDATABASE. The PROD tag was removed by Sportsfan 1234 with the edit summary: this passes WP:NSEASONS, not sure about GNG or SIGCOV, but removing PROD. FAdesdae378 (talk · contribs) 21:10, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The team competed in J1 league which is the top league in Japan so meets WP:NSEASONS. Unlike players, the odds of a team in the top league getting no significant coverage is near nil, full source searching is limited because Japan doesn't have the best digitalization of offline content (at least for free), but I did find one possible significant source, but paywalled so can't read:

"[Ｊリーグ百年物語]変革と混乱の1999年が始まった――湘南ベルマーレ（98）（川端康生） - 個人". Yahoo!ニュース (in Japanese). Retrieved 2022-08-25.

Draftify - deletion is not cleanup but... there is no prose content to this article whatsoever. It's just a bunch of tables. I agree with User:Jumpytoo that this passes WP:NSEASONS and also note that any sources are unlikely to be in English but that only makes them harder for English-speakers to find, not non-existent. I think a Japanese-speaker could probably find sources and make something of this but in its current state it shouldn't be in mainspace. GoldenRing (talk) 14:44, 31 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
