I just did that in another response.

How is the 87 A&M football season not notable enough?

There are literally hundreds of individual season pages for various college football teams on Wiki. There are many about Texas A&M as well. You can see complete season pages for the years 1988-2014.

How in the world are the other seasons ok for individual pages when this one is not? Your citation is not consistent with other mods views on Wiki pages such as this at all.

Kentatm (talk) 19:56, 12 January 2014 (UTC) Your page has been written in advertisement sense. And there are thousands of seasons on each game that doesn't mean all are notable. What you are trying to do is that you are making it as special one. Its not so, as I already told you that if the subject is not notable then Wikipedia doesn't have an article about it.

my most recent response.

Again, I ask you, how is this page any different than the many individual season pages already made for various college football teams? Have you even looked at other pages to see how it is exactly the same?

How is this an advertisement? Are those other pages I listed also advertisements?

What do you even mean by "And there are thousands of seasons on each game"? What? There is only one 1987 college football season.

Also, I find it interesting that you say I am trying to make that specific season special when it in fact is one of the most successful season in A&M history. They won the SWC, won a major bowl (Cotton) against a Notre Dame team that had the Heisman winner, and finished the season ranked in the top 10.

There are many team pages just like the one I have created that were for far less successful years. Again, how do those not violate the rules while this one does? Kentatm (talk) 20:17, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

I think I may have worn him down a bit

I've removed deletion tag from your page and passing to another editor to handle it. Nechlison (talk) 20:23, 12 January 2014 (UTC)




he's lucky.

if he hadn't somewhat relented I was going to bring this over to TexAgs and have the rabble go after him.

That mod seems to be a bit of a dick!

Although, this person may not be a native English speaker as there are some curious typos in their response to you and so he might not understand completely what you are trying to accomplish.

The Athletic Department should have this info on their website though and preferably for all sports. They should hire you Dr. RC!
