2011 MLS Reserve Division

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I would like to determine whether seasons of non-competitive reserve football leagues have a place on Wikipedia in the absence of coverage from reliable sources. I propose the winning team and year is a sufficient amount of information to be held on the main topic page, as is already the case.

I am also nominating the following related pages under the same criteria:

Merge & redirect all to MLS Reserve Division. Giant Snowman 16:49, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: The fact that you allow seasons like the 2011–12 Premier Reserve League to still be apart of wikipedia surely should merit this for inclusion. I agree about the 2005-2008 seasons but the 2011 season is the rebirth of the league and has some very reliable information that could be very sought after. --Arsenalkid700 (talk) 07:15, 19 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Merge all to MLS Reserve Division. Although there are reliable sources on the topics, they are generally not focused on events during the season but rather on the existence on the league itself, so the notability is directed on the league. Arsenalkid700's argument is merely WP:OTHERSTUFF. Bzweebl (talk) 16:55, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I still stand by what I said minus the Premier League Reserve League. Just merge the first few seasons (2005-2008) and keep the 2011 season. Also I am planning to add to the article to meet what you guys are saying. --Arsenalkid700 (talk) 01:43, 22 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
