A league that exists outside the English league system although English football league system has it down as being at the 17th level. In any case, it doesn't have inherent notability so needs to pass WP:GNG. The article is currently only listed to primary sources. A British newspaper search shows that the fixtures, results and league tables were published in the Yarmouth Independent on occasion but I couldn't see anything more. This appears to be the website for the league as far as I can see. ProQuest turned up this and this, both of which are just adverts in the local paper asking for more clubs to join. I found nothing worth mentioning in a search of Google News and DuckDuckGo. Spiderone 18:12, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: I decided to put the handy 'View history' tool to use! Drawing from my experiences there with this page, I reckon this page is here only because people closely associated with the matter etc. etc. etc., so it's more of an advertisement than an actual claim of notability. Plus, only three users made any major contribution to this article; one of them's Internet Archive Bot, the other's a user whose only edit was on this page and the last one who has been inactive for a very long time. So, delete I think Rebestalic^{[leave a message....]} 02:41, 21 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

COMMENT: fails SIRS but may pass the NCTEST. Delete for now but can be kept if the league meets the NCTEST and more independent sources can be found.
