It enabled us to strip down the main FCUM page without over emotional people whacking all the content they'd lovingly typed back in. I don't mind if it gets deleted, just make sure you keep deleting irrelevant comment and match reports off the

However, since we don't have articles on famous seasons for far more successful teams such as Arsenal 03/04, Wimbledon 87/88, Liverpool 00/01 etc it does seem a bit weird for a non-league club's season to get a full article (even a big non-league club)

Before voting, you mention the
Manchester United treble winning season being a notable season. I just wonder if the season in question for FC United of Manchester (FCUM), is notable, for the simple fact that it was not only their first ever season, but that they were Champions of that league in their

This was FCUM's first season and thus a very special one. Team isn't too minor, the last few years have seen a number of teams starting out in the minor leagues, but with the attendance numbers and regional importance of top clubs. There was a ton of independent articles and research about this

per nom. This article exists because the decision was made by regular wikipedians who edit the team's article that the content here for season 2005-06 (which was originally in the main article) was too long and unwieldy. I don't see a case for it to continue to exist.
