to the league page USL PDL per . I'm not seeing GNG met (see discussion above). The team played in the 3rd tier for the first few years with an average attendance under 1,500, then 4th tier with an average attendance under 500. Our article gets less than 5 views per day on average this year https://tools.wmflabs.org/pageviews/?project=en.wikipedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&start=2019-01-01&end=2019-09-01&pages=California_Gold. "Needs improving" is easier said than done. The sources we have will only support an article of the kind we have now: a sheer recitation of their statistics... in such-a-such a year, they had such-and-such a record, and in this game on this date, so-and-so scored this many goals. The article is a statistics table in prose form, and that's because the only sources we have are statistics tables and game reports. An encyclopedia entry about a team should answer some more substantive questions like: who owned them? What changes did they have in management and coaching? How did they manage their roster? What strategies and tactics did they employ? What formations did they favor? How did they compare with other teams in their league over the years? Who were their rivalries? Where did they recruit? What was their scouting operation like? Why did they change their name and drop down a league in 2002? We don't have the answers to these questions. There's no significant information we are presenting in this article that isn't already presented in the season-by-season articles at USL PDL–that's the best place to present the historical statistics for this team; it'll be presented in the context of the season. If someone finds some good GNG sources in the future, the redirect can be expanded back into an article
