An article about a Division II team with no appearance in the championship game? This team/year doesn't come close to needing it's own article and should be redirected to Shepherd Rams at the very least. Adwyludga (talk) 17:14, 20 December 2022 (UTC)
- Speedy Keep. This team made it to the PSAC Football Championship Game, and made it to the Division II semifinals. With several sources in the article, I don't understand the rationale for this being brought to AfD. Disclaimer, I am the article creator.

- Comment- to any closer, see this edit from the nominator... opening this AfD was their first edit, also. SPF121188 (talk this way) (my edits) 18:03, 20 December 2022 (UTC)
- Speedy Keep: Per SPF121188's rational, this team's season was clearly notable. Hey man im josh (talk) 18:13, 20 December 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose delete. The content shouldn't be deleted given the coverage. However, I increasingly think the best way to deal with Division II programs is to create conference/season articles, in this case 2022 Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference football season. Compare 2022 Gulf South Conference football season, 2022 Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference football season, and 2022 Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference football season.

- keep with no prejudice against merging later. I agree with Cbl, a conference season article might be the way to go but until it exists we should keep this one, having passed WP:GNG.--Paul McDonald (talk) 22:14, 20 December 2022 (UTC)]
