The 1988–89 season was the 94th in the history of Arsenal Football Club. It began on 1 July 1988 and concluded on 30 June 1989, with competitive matches played between August and May. The club ended its 18-year wait for the league title by winning the Football League First Division championship in the most closely fought title race in the competition's history. Arsenal beat Liverpool 2–0 in the final match of the season to take the title on goals scored, as both clubs shared the same points total and goal difference. During the season Arsenal also enjoyed success in the Football League Centenary Trophy, but exited the League Cup to Liverpool in the third round and fell at the same stage of the FA Cup to West Ham United.

I'm nominating this as a complete topic, an account of Arsenal's successful 1988–89 season. The matches included in the series pass the notability criteria -- Arsenal's participation in the Football League Centenary Trophy and that dramatic finish at Anfield. The main article summarises play throughout the season and includes statistics, ins and outs and nice pictures. All feedback is welcome, thanks in advance. :) Lemonade51 (talk) 21:47, 13 April 2018 (UTC)
- Seems strange to not have 1988–89 Football League. Nergaal (talk) 13:44, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
- Per, this nomination, where would you draw the line? Not about the overall league season, but Arsenal's which is covered in the main article. Lemonade51 (talk) 14:18, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
- A topic of 1988-89 Football League would contain 1988-89 Arsenal F.C. season, not the other way around. Recommend not including. Kees08 (Talk) 02:34, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
- Support - can't think of anything else which could be included here.... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 11:51, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
- Director Comment - This nomination has been up since April and there hasn't been any comments since May. If there isn't a consensus reached by the end of the month I will have to close this nomination. GamerPro64 21:37, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
- Comment - I don't see how the above would need to be added; considering it's an article on the entire football league. 1988–89 Football League First Division doesn't exist, and would be the suitible target. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 19:18, 26 August 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks @Lee Vilenski: for commenting, is there any chance you could vote so consensus can be met?! Lemonade51 (talk) 17:03, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
- It is now September and still only one vote for Support. This nomination is now Closed with no consensus to promote. I would recommend renominating this again in the near future. GamerPro64 17:15, 1 September 2018 (UTC)
