Obviously I made a mistake thinking it was a youth competition, based on the word junior in the league name (thank you ChrisTheDude for the explanation). However I still have trouble seeing the notability for a season article for a regional competition. Qed237 (talk) 09:29, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Adult semi-professional league which acts as a qualifier for the Scottish Cup. Not a youth competition. Sgt Elvan (talk) 23:34, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - as noted, this is not a youth league (the word "junior" in the league's full name refers to its level within the Scottish league system and has nothing to do with the age of the players). Also WP:NSEASONS makes no mention of competition seasons, only team seasons. Nominator may wish to revisit/reword the reasons for nomination.....? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:29, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep As it is a significant league and a feeder/qualifier for the National Cup. If consensus is that the individual seasons are not notable, redirect to Scottish Junior Football North Premier League rather than delete, as WP:NSEASONS says redirection is almost always preferable to deletion when the notability criteria are not satisfied.
