*'''Comment''' the newly-created [[DePauw football, 1884–1889]] may still not be significant enough to warrant its own article and may need to expand its scope, but I guess for now '''redirect'''ing this article to that one is the best outcome for this AfD.

After a review of the sources in this article, I'm not convinced this team meets the WP:GNG or WP:NSEASONS, despite having the claim of playing in the first football game in Indiana. The only source is from the team website, which is primary. A check of newspaper archives didn't come up with much better, with only a single sentence of coverage found at [[1]].

- Note: This discussion has been included in the list of History-related deletion discussions. North America1000 15:12, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
- I've added a bit. The Encyclopedia of Indianapolis is borderline SIGCOV with a full paragraph on the topic. Cbl62 (talk) 16:29, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
- A closer can't redirect to a non-existent target. Cbl62 (talk) 19:59, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
- DePauw football, 1884–1889 has been created. Jweiss11 (talk) 21:35, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
- I'm not convinced that the target meets GNG or NSEASONS, but if others find the sourcing to be acceptable I suppose a redirect would suffice. Let'srun (talk) 21:44, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
- If need be, the scope could be expanded to cover the 1890s as well. Jweiss11 (talk) 22:06, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
- I'm not convinced that the target meets GNG or NSEASONS, but if others find the sourcing to be acceptable I suppose a redirect would suffice. Let'srun (talk) 21:44, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
- DePauw football, 1884–1889 has been created. Jweiss11 (talk) 21:35, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
- A closer can't redirect to a non-existent target. Cbl62 (talk) 19:59, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
- Merge per above. There's not a lot of information here, it may have been reported on at the time, and it's in our interest to maintain a complete set of the information somewhere. SportingFlyer T·C 17:35, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- What information here isn't already included in that article? If anything, this should be either redirected or deleted, but I don't see any basis for a merge now. Let'srun (talk) 17:56, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- Merges don't often occur before the AfD is closed. Still the correct result, and this can be redirected there by the closer. SportingFlyer T·C 20:47, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
