Contested prod, asked to be discussed here. Original reason for prod was Fails WP:ORG, only 56 direct hits in google, most of which are wikipedia mirrors and not one of them reliable, fails WP:V. No opinion from my side. Tone 11:41, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Semi-pro league that plays Canadian football, covers a large geographical area and has been in opeartion for seven seasons. Since googling "Maritime Football League" yields 3,720 results, I'm impressed that nom went through all of those and eliminated 3,664 of them. However, "hard work" is not an excuse for keeping or deleting. Mandsford (talk) 17:40, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep Of those 56 hits, the majority are either official league pages or provincial/national football bodies. There are also local newspaper articles listed. As it is a major football league in Eastern Canada (to the point of having a University field a sponsored team) it deserves a page. It requires a rewrite, but does not constitute a deletion.
