Don't need a separate season article for this team which competes in a regional domestic competition. Doesn't meet the criteria of WP:NSEASONS or WP:GNG Joseph2302 (talk) 14:40, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Sources cited in the article are mostly a collection of scores and stats, not prose. There doesn't appear to be any content or sources worth merging into the main Salem Spartans article, so it's ok to delete. ProQuest actually turns up quite a bit of match coverage on the Salem Spartans in 2021 in major newspapers including The Times of India and The Hindu, but content from the most relevant sources could easily be incorporated directly into the main Salem Spartans article. There is no need for a standalone article for this season per WP:NSEASONS. Cielquiparle (talk) 23:13, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Per nom. Doesn't look to be anything relevant enough to merge into the main article. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 10:28, 18 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Per nom. Also these matches the teams play in don't even have official T20 status, so I'd question the notability of the entire league in the context of WP:NCRIC. StickyWicket (talk) 13:27, 18 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Subject isn’t sufficiently notable to warrant an article, and there is nowhere near enough to merge into any other article. Shawn Teller (talk) 12:37, 24 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
