This league isn't part of the tiered non-league English system. "The league now only runs veterans divisions which are not considered part of the non-league system." It therefore needs to pass WP:GNG but there appears to be little to no coverage. Spiderone 17:53, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - to be honest the league probably isn't notable anyway, but worth pointing out that notability is not temporary, and the fact that the league now only runs a vets division (which seem to be the basis of the nom) doesn't mean it didn't offer a higher level of football in the past....... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 18:40, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I agree it's a poorly worded nom from me. With that being said, for a competition that's been going for 120 years, the lack of coverage is astonishing. Admittedly, it's very hard to search for sources when you have to wade through all the sources relating to Leicester City F.C. Spiderone 19:58, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - while it's true that the league now only runs veterans divisions, there's no indication that it was ever notable. Nigej (talk) 07:15, 6 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
