Fails WP:CORPDEPTH, WP:NSEASONS - Substantial independent coverage in sources is lacking - the school and team website are not independent and do not qualify as secondary sources. Also, Wikipedia is not a crystal ball WP:CRYSTAL; a championship season or a post season is an unknown; so this is probably WP:TOOSOON. Steve Quinn (talk) 02:30, 5 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I withdraw my nomination and close this discussion as speedy keep reason #1 and per Procedure for non-admin close on AfD page as well as this appears to be Snow Keep. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 17:12, 13 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep We've been through this, every year. Division I college basketball seasons are notable. Stop with the WP:POINT-y nominations, already. Smartyllama (talk) 17:33, 5 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment While Division I men's basketball gets a lot of coverage, the same level of coverage does not exist for women's. Coverage of SMU's women's basketball program would need to be judged on its own merits.—Bagumba (talk) 23:20, 5 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

KeepThis conversation has already been had year after year. D1 WBB seasons are notable as most games are broadcast nationwide and you can find a lot of sources with reliable information. D1 WBB recently has had more coverage than the WNBA. Mjs32193 (talk) 20:58, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Div 1 basketball seasons have not become notable only by people's assertions, otherwise Wikipedia would become quite the random place. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 03:34, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - This challenge is a ludicrous waste of time — the current year is here, the current season is approaching, if people want to start getting these inevitable articles rolling now, more power to them. Carrite (talk) 16:14, 11 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
