Maltese Third Division (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Third football division of a small country. Esprit15d(۝ • ۞ • ▲) 15:44, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

• Fourth tier, even. I'm leaning towards delete, we don't cover such amateur leagues. Punkmorten (talk) 19:29, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
• This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of football (soccer) related deletions. ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:28, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Whilst I accept that Malta is a small country with a comparatively poor standard of football, a recent AfD !voted to keep an article on a level 16 league in England, which is essentially simply a city league. The Maltese D3 at least has in its favour that it's a nationwide league...... ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:32, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
• Keep No problem with an article on the league itself, though I am concerned about articles on the clubs at this level. пﮟოьεԻ 57 09:38, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
• Keep per above. – PeeJay 10:03, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
• Keep - We need to come to some general criteria for the notability of football competitions, but in the meantime I think that being a football competition organised by the national football association is sufficient notability for Wikipedia. Aecis^Brievenbus 10:31, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. National level of competition, this league article should not be deleted. King of the NorthEast 13:40, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
• Strong Keep for obvious reasons BanRay 19:05, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
• Keep I agree with 57 on this, the League is notable enough to have an article. Woodym555 (talk) 23:49, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
• Keep per all of above especially ChrisTheDude's reasoning. This is a national league at a pretty high (3rd / 4th) tier in albeit a small country. Peanut4 (talk) 23:57, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
• Strong Keep per all above. Jonesy702 (talk) 20:28, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
