This is a group of articles covering individual seasons played by the the University of Florida's softball team from 1997 to 2007. These articles were created over the course of a few days in 2009 by
User:Ocdmuch and have not seen any noteworthy edits in the ensuing seven years.
The guideline for articles about individual sports seasons is
WP:NSEASONS and it states that "articles should consist mainly of well-sourced prose, not just statistics and lists of players." These articles are exactly that: a game schedule with a win/loss record, player rosters and statistics. There's no prose and what references there are are almost entirely dead links.
Even if these articles were improved with prose, they're never going to be as encyclopedic as say,
1986 New York Mets season because these are all years in which the Florida Gators accomplished nothing of note, so there's no hope that the articles will ever meet
WP:NSEASONS' allowance for "national championship season[s] at the top collegiate level".

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Redirect to
Florida Gators softball. NSEASONS also says "It is strongly recommended that those articles be redirected to the team page if no sourced prose can be created." If no prose is added to these articles then they should be redirected. - YellowDingo(talk) 08:27, 12 September 2016 (UTC)reply
Redirect Per YellowDingo. I'm open to keeping if someone can show me some coverage of the seasons in reliable sources, but I haven't been able to find anything.
