Broad concept that doesn't seem to be broken down and discussed by any reliable source. One citation in the whole article. An anonymous username, not my real name 01:20, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: American football, Baseball, Basketball, and United States of America. An anonymous username, not my real name 01:20, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to varsity team, where it is mentioned. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:34, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Junior varsity seems like a major concept to me – there has to be coverage of this somewhere. BeanieFan11 (talk) 01:50, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Likely a book (more reputable than a bloggy site). —Bagumba (talk) 02:02, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:NEXIST.

A quick search for sources finds:

PK-WIKI (it's helpful to sign your posts if you remember), I am well aware of WP:NEXIST, but as I explained, this didn't appear to apply based on my searches. Now that sources have been provided, I would still argue that this doesn't need to be its own article; rather, it would make sense to have this explained within varsity team, while specific sports (college baseball, American football, etc.) can have their own articles if sourcing is sufficient.

Merge for now to Varsity team, with no prejudice towards its recreation at a later time. The article subject is notable, but it generally exists in relationship with varsity sports in the United States looking at both the above sources and from my own search (I'm only looking at this from an American perspective, to be clear). I could see a world where an editor would take the plethora of coverage about JV sports in the US and draw out a larger article, but this current one would be better served with merging information into the target for now. I'd recommend that it should be a sub-section of "varsity sports". Nomader (talk) 03:30, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment So many pages link here that we really need to keep it as a redirect, at least. It may be possible to write an independent article about this topic, but I think this concept would make the most sense if discussed alongside varsity sports. There are surely hundreds of sources about individual JV teams, JV competitions, etc, but weaving that information into a coherent article could be challenging.

Merge into 'Varsity team', leaving the redirect. However, that article itself is a mess, and seems to overlap various articles listed at Varsity. (Having seen that mess, I must keep reminding myself that I have other things I am supposed to be working on.) - Donald Albury 11:59, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
keep notable subject matter, sources that exist and have been shown in this discussion need to be incorporated in the article. AFD is not cleanup.--Paul McDonald (talk) 15:51, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per above. Therapyisgood (talk) 04:18, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
