There was no final or championship game for the 1969 season. Not sure there is a need for an article for an event that didn't take place? dashiellx (talk) 16:50, 9 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete How did this article survive almost nine years? Spf121188 (talk) 18:17, 9 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as hoax. It looks like the page does cite a source for the 1969 season, but that season did not have a final. May also move to Wikipedia:List of hoaxes on Wikipedia? Garnarblarnar (talk) 18:26, 9 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - as apparent hoax. Giant Snowman 18:32, 9 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to 1969 North American Soccer League season, where the lack of a final is explained. BilledMammal (talk) 21:04, 9 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to 1969 North American Soccer League season per BilledMammal wizzito | say hello! 22:21, 9 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to 1969 North American Soccer League season, which explains that no final was held. It's a valid search term for a redirect, as most other seasons did have a final (and so people may look for information of the 1969 final too). Joseph2302 (talk) 09:17, 10 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect as above. Not sure why people would think it's a hoax? cheers, Struway2 (talk) 10:09, 10 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to 1969 North American Soccer League season as above. As mentioned here, in 1969 "the 16 game league schedule was played, sans playoffs-another Woosnam cost saving measure." The article is completely factual, but simply misleading. Keskkonnakaitse (talk) 14:57, 10 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect (and maybe merge) to 1969 North American Soccer League season#NASL Final 1969 season standings which lists this article as the main article. I don't see the hoax aspects of this though ... am I missing something? Article is clear that it didn't occur (despite occurring in preceding and following years). The main concern in not having an article, is that it would make it more difficult to page through the various finals - so I've boldly tackled that by adding the infobox to the season page.

I support delete but redirect or merge would be suitable if an enthusiastic editor would like to merge the details.--Paul McDonald (talk) 21:11, 12 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
