Yet another low-level subcounty league with only very trivial coverage in local papers. Does not meet WP:FOOTYN's presumption of notability and no evidence of WP:GNG. Online, I found two passing mentions here and here, both in the same local paper. Neither of the articles discuss the league in any depth.

Nothing found in ProQuest about the league nor in Google Books. A British newspaper archive search only yields trivial and infrequent coverage despite the league having a history of over 120 years. Coverage barely takes up more than a small fraction of a column in local publications like Halifax Evening Courier and Todmorden Advertiser and is trivial in nature; results listings, league tables, brief reports on AGMs. I also searched "Halifax and District AFL" and "Halifax and District Association Football League" and found nothing better. Similar case to Guildford and Woking Alliance League. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 15:38, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - no evidence of notability. I am local-ish (with family even more so) and I have never heard of the league or any of the clubs. Giant Snowman 16:02, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
