2008 Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team

Contested prod. It is too early to create this page. The 2007 season is still going on and the 2008 season doesn't start for almost a year now. The 2007 article wasn't created until January of this year and the same can happen for this one, it is unneeded until then. Phydend 23:38, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It's got a schedule. Unless that's all just made-up information, I don't see any reason to destroy all the work that went into the article only to recreate it in 90 days. Torc2 00:23, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The schedule falls squarely within WP:NOT#INFO. Until there's some useful content for this page (which I'm sure there will be when the season starts), this page is unneeded. Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 01:31, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Currently it might fall under WP:NOT#INFO, but realistically it's just a WP:STUB. A schedule isn't just a list of stats, and there's no question that this article will exist and will contain additional useful information in a matter of weeks. At most I'd suggest establishing a formal policy for when a page for a sports team's season can be made, although I'd suggest "when its schedule is released" is as good a time as any. For that matter, there are already a ton of future sporting events listed. Torc2 02:24, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep -- Why delete something that's obviously going to be created sometime down the line anyways? Never a better time than the present to start collecting news and other information for the article. -- Hawk17 03:32, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - an article about a future season of a college sports team, in an encyclopedia? I don't see any relevance.--Michig 07:39, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
