The summer collegiate baseball league fails WP:NSPORT. There is no indication of significant independent coverage of the league. –Aidan721 (talk) 17:40, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. In searching newspapers.com there is quite a lot of independent secondary coverage from the present back to 2002 in the The Courier-News, The Philadelphia Inquirer, Daily Record, The Coast Star, and The Asbury Park Press (a total of 271 articles). There are many articles about the league and not just coverage about individual games and teams (which also exists). Passes WP:SIGCOV.4meter4 (talk) 18:20, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Do these sources provide reports beyond routine game coverage? It's hard to evaluate these sources when they are not present in the article. –Aidan721 (talk) 20:27, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Aidan721 I think I was pretty explicit that there was independent significant coverage of the league itself and not just games in my original comment. Cbl62 has kindly provided links to some of them below. Best.4meter4 (talk) 03:34, 14 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
