Merge is the proper solution here.--Paul McDonald (talk) 23:10, 18 December 2017 (UTC)
Merge makes sense for a one-season franchise. No need for two articles covering the same event. Cbl62 (talk) 00:07, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
Comment. I won't opine on notability, but given the length of this article it may make sense to keep it separate. Kablammo (talk) 14:10, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
Keep treat it like any other Arena Football season article. Lepricavark (talk) 20:29, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
My recollection is that we very rarely keep season articles for arena football... am I incorrect?--Paul McDonald (talk) 20:59, 20 December 2017 (UTC)

::::Hmmm it seems that way yes. Okay, season articles are normally kept. The question then remains, what should be done about a team that only plays one season? Would a team article and season article be redundant? I think it might be and still lean toward merge--Paul McDonald (talk) 15:11, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
