Should be deleted as per User:JML1148 Appears to be exclusively the opinions of the page creator. Unfit to be on Wikipedia, but I don't think it comes under any of the CSD criteria. The PROD was removed during a hijacking of the article, which I have since reverted. Article violates WP:NOR and WP:SOAPBOX as the article creator is clearly using Wikipedia as a vehicle to promote their own point of view. We already have Racism in association football but I don't believe that this would be a plausible redirect so would prefer outright deletion.

Delete. This won't work as an article unless someone reliable comes up with a ranking. Right now it's original research, and probably not very reliable research either. Besides, the problem isn't with the leagues themselves as much as with horrible fans. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 20:25, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:NOR and WP:SOAPBOX - surely there must be some speedy category that this nonsense can be deleted under.....? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 20:35, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, obviously - the work of someone who knows so little about football that they do not know how to spell the names of three of the world's leading top divisions. RobinCarmody (talk) 20:45, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, per WP:NOR, WP:NPOV, WP:NOTWEBHOST, etc. As a matter of fact, it's difficult to find a Wikipedia policy or guideline that this doesn't manage to violate. Ejgreen77 (talk) 21:19, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete this is a terrible article it should have never been written. Catfurball (talk) 21:51, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as WP:OR and arguably as a potential legal issue. Suspect that WP:SNOW will come into play here... UndercoverClassicist (talk) 22:05, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Obviously. This is clear OR and soapbox behavior. Could be closed now as WP:SNOW I think. QuicoleJR (talk) 22:26, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with everyone in this talk page. This looks like the person who created the page, created it as a hate page MagoLass (talk) 23:29, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as purely opinion per WP:NOR and other delete recommendations above. Maybe the article creator should create a different list -- albeit not as a Wikipedia article -- of the least racist soccer leagues to give football organizations something to aspire to and an accomplishment they could potentially be proud of. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 00:52, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Is this even a question? If WP:SNOW ~~was~~ is an essay for AfD, so that would apply here. Apologies. I've only seen WP:SNOW used at RfA, so I assumed it's only for use there. But this works here too!‍ ‍ Helloheart ‍ ‍ 01:20, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete There are horribly racist soccer leagues for sure (I pretty much stopped following Serie A because of their non-action), but we shouldn't rank them based on one person's unsourced opinion. Nate • (chatter) 01:42, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as per all the reasons above. Joseph2302 (talk) 07:29, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. It seems like pilling on, but this just has to go! --Bduke (talk) 08:30, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Surely there's a CSD criterion this could go under? Blue Edits (talk) 10:28, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It seems that this piece of blatant original research was created in response to the recent treatment of Vinícius Júnior by many Valencia fans. That incident was despicable, but I'm sure that there are equally despicable events affecting less illustrious players at smaller clubs in many leagues. They just don't get the same publicity.

Delete: Yikes. Delete per above comments. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:04, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I fully concur with the nominator's reasoning. While racism in sport is a serious subject, this article would not work as a Wikipedia article, not least due to subjectivity and original research issues. Dunarc (talk) 20:44, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - original research. Is it SNOWing yet? Nfitz (talk) 00:18, 26 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - absolute nonsense. Giant Snowman 20:28, 26 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
