South Dublin Football League[edit]

Seems to be unnotable small football league, but I don't know what the guidelines are as far as WP:N and WP:RS. -Zeus-^u|c 21:51, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep An affiliated league of the Leinster Football Association and the Football Association of Ireland. It is the premier schoolboy league in South Dublin, comprising of over 60 teams and 12 age groups with several divisions. Fionnsci (talk) 22:03, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as its more than a club and going for nearly 40 years.Red Hurley (talk) 11:44, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Strong delete: Unless we're going to set some absurd precedence that all schoolboy and junior leagues deserve an article on Wikipedia, this one has no place here. Nobody would argue that the Accrington and District Junior Football League should have an article and that league is 51 years old and the strongest junior league in Hyndburn(!). There's no sources to suggest that the league passes the general notability guidelines and the clubs in the league are not eligible for any national senior competition. -- Big Dom 23:08, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Schoolboy leagues are generally not notable, and there's no indication that this is an exception. Bettia ^{it's a puppet!} 12:18, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I agree with Betia and Dom on this. Schoolboy leagues definately aren't inherintly notable, and age certainly doesn't confer notability. There isn't significant coverage to merrit keeping this article under WP:GNG. Sir Sputnik (talk) 14:04, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
