Article has no prose and no sources. What's more, there is no context given to allow people to understand anything about the article. What is "3. Liga" and "DFB-Pokal" (the headers)? This does not comprise a proper encyclopedia article. Kaldari (talk) 01:40, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete In its current state the article violates both Wikipedia:NOTSTATSBOOK and the manual of style for WP Footy, Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Club seasons which both require an article to have at least some prose, to say nothing of the lack of sources.

Keep - I have added a brief introduction and reference - just because an article needs improving / does not meet manual of style is NO reason to delete. Giant Snowman 12:37, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sadly its not an isolated case in the German club season articles. Do you intend to babysit the author and improve and maintain 2012–13 FC St. Pauli season, 2012–13 FSV Frankfurt season, 2012–13 1. FC Heidenheim season, 2012–13 Rot-Weiß Oberhausen season, 2012–13 SV Wehen Wiesbaden season, 2012–13 SV Darmstadt 98 season, 2012–13 FC Erzgebirge Aue season, 2012–13 FC Energie Cottbus season, 2012–13 FC Ingolstadt 04 season, 2012–13 SC Paderborn 07 season, 2012–13 1. FC Union Berlin season, 2012–13 VfR Aalen season, 2012–13 SV Sandhausen season and 2012–13 VfL Osnabrück season, all without prose and references and mostly unupdated since late July? Clearly the creator has lost interesst and abandoned the articles in a rather sad state! Calistemon (talk) 12:51, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - This article needs improving, not deleting. I'd be willing to grant it at least a temporary reprieve. – Pee Jay 12:46, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
