Level 18 of the English football league pyramid seems pretty low to me. Are all English football leagues inherently notable or is there a line that we draw somewhere? Wherever that line is drawn, I'm struggling to see how this league would be on the correct side of it. WP:FOOTYN says "Leagues whose members are eligible for national cups are generally notable." which is clearly not the case with this league. It then says "Leagues that are a country's highest level are generally notable." which is also blatantly untrue with this one. I've checked to see if this can get through on WP:GNG but all I can seem to find are primary sources, which merely indicate that this league exists but nothing to suggest notability.

- Delete - an amateur league played mostly/wholly on public park pitches, no evidence of notability. If it's the same as the similar league in my area, then the only coverage it receives consists of brief reports in the local paper (sent in by the league secretary) which jostle for space on the inside pages with the local senior citizens' bowls league and pub darts league...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:52, 4 October 2020 (UTC)
- Delete This is an amateur league and there isn't multiple in-depth reliable sources about it. Trivial mentions in local news sources don't count. --Adamant1 (talk) 09:26, 4 October 2020 (UTC)
- Delete - insignificant, low level, local league - no evidence of notability. GiantSnowman 16:47, 4 October 2020 (UTC)

- Delete - not notable, way below the level we should be covering. Nigej (talk) 07:07, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
- Delete per all above. REDMAN 2019 (talk) 11:34, 9 October 2020 (UTC)
- Comment At this point someone should snow delete this so it isn't needlessly kept open. --Adamant1 (talk) 12:39, 9 October 2020 (UTC)
