- Delete - no evidence of notability. GiantSnowman 10:14, 24 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - This article needs more sources, especially ones totally independent of the subject. Considering the info provided in the article, it may very well be notable, but we need proof of this. Bill Pollard (talk) 13:09, 24 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- delete fails WP:GNG. I'm yet to find a case of a small under 18 league being notable. LibStar (talk) 13:27, 24 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - there are not going to be anywhere enough sources independent of the subject for this to pass GNG: and as it's a youth league, it's not notable by default as a competition. 7 teams compete in it, that's hardly a notable league. Lukeno94 (talk) 14:00, 24 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete The real difficulty here is that Guernsey only has a population of 66,000, so a youth league is unlikely ever to amount to very much in the wider scheme of things. Size is not the only consideration, of course, but I would not expect a youth sports league in a large city or county to have a Wikipedia entry. There would have to be something very remarkable about it to make it notable. --AJHingston (talk) 01:35, 25 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
