The result was keep. I see no point in deleting this article this month when it will just get recreated next month. It will undoubtedly fulfill notability standards when the season starts. Liz Read! Talk! 07:53, 17 November 2022 (UTC)

Lacks sources, and, as with the 2023 Canberra Raiders season, just a case of WP:TOOSOON. echidnaLives - talk - edits 07:16, 10 November 2022 (UTC)

- Comment - Hi EchidnaLives is there any reason that the coverage here, here, and here is not significant? I don't know much about sports but seems like a pointless endeavour to delete an article with this coverage and that will inevitably be recreated within the coming months.
- Hi MaxnaCarta, while I would say it is significant, the article probably still falls under WP:TOOSOON. However, I could see Draftify being a good option, as like you said, it will inevitably be recreated. Thanks, echidnaLives - talk - edits 09:19, 10 November 2022 (UTC)
- I don't understand why it is too soon if it is getting coverage. It is next years season, coverage is ramping up, people will be searching for it, and while an essay can be persuasive, it is not a guideline accepted by community consensus and I am not seeing a compelling reason to delete. Why is it too soon if timetabling and coverage is ongoing? To me, TOOSOON is to protect the project from future events that may never come to fruition or maybe if it was 2024's event....

- I see what you mean, but I think at least having it in the draft namespace until January or so might be a good idea. But alas, we'll see what consensus develops over the course of the discussion. Thanks for your feedback! echidnaLives - talk - edits 09:53, 10 November 2022 (UTC)

- Comment Whatever allows articles such as 2023 Oakland Athletics season & 2023 San Francisco Giants season to go unmolested should also apply here — Preceding unsigned comment added by Local Potentate (talk • contribs)

- Keep it is commonplace to start an article for a team's season after the previous regular season is complete. WP:TOOSOON does not apply here. Frank Anchor 14:14, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
