[edit] Mallee Football League 2007 Season
While the league as a whole may be notable, the individual seasons are not. Mattinbgn/ talk 02:25, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

- Delete all - This is a small regional league. No evidence of notability is presented. I am happy to change my vote if proper sourcing on notability is provided. TerriersFan 04:14, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

- Four votes in four hours is not enough to claim it has a snowballs chance. --Scott Davis Talk 14:28, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
- Keep The main season page, but probably not the individual grade articles. Mallee Football League (South Australia) has a reasonable article, so there's not reason to believe the season won't too. Do we have an accepted AFD guideline for sports leagues? The US get excited about school football, which in rural Australia is a lot less important than the regional league. --Scott Davis Talk 14:28, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
- Comment: I agree that the article on the league is notable and of reasonable quality and I would also agree that the clubs are possibly notable too, but the season is likely to be of passing interest only. A list of premiers and/or grand final results in the main article would be more appropriate. The likely quality of the article has no bearing on the the subjects notability and is not relevant. I suspect that this is an attempt to host an unofficial webpage on the league in breach of WP:NOT#WEBSPACE.--Mattinbgn/ talk 23:15, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
- Comment. There is a policy on English soccer leagues which I understand maintains the first ten levels. The Mallee Football League would of similar notability to one of the lower leagues in that standard. However, the reserves and colts are not notable enough to warrant an article and should be deleted. There may be a case for the main article with brief summaries of the lower grades. In summary, weak keep main grades, delete lower grades. Capitalistroadster 01:19, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
- Strong delete - a rural football league in an area which covers less than 100k people. The league is notable as a social institution, but the level of sport is such that it is not notable as a sporting achievement. Grumpygrumpy 03:38, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
