Deletion of Northeastern Football Alliance

Comment: As others have pointed out,  has no bearing on leagues or teams, although it applies to persons who played.  Until there is some subject specific guideline or prohibition against semi-pro or amateur leagues, they would be judged on  "A company, corporation, organization, school, team, religion, group, product, or service is notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in secondary sources. Such sources must be reliable, and independent of the subject. A single independent source is almost never sufficient for demonstrating the notability of an organization."  After that, it comes down to individual opinion about what's significant, and opinions vary.  Under its previous name, the NYAFL, it received, from multiple sources, what I would call significant coverage.   http://news.google.com/archivesearch?q=%22new+york+amateur+football+league%22&scoring=a&sa=N&sugg=d&as_ldate=2000&as_hdate=2009&lnav=hist10, and although none of the teams are in the nomination, some of them got coverage as well  http://news.google.com/archivesearch?q=buffalo+gladiators&as_ldate=2000&as_hdate=2019&sugg=d&scoring=a&sa=N&start=10.  Searching under the newer name, not as much coverage http://news.google.com/archivesearch?q=%22northeast+football+alliance%22&scoring=a&sa=N&sugg=d&as_ldate=2005&as_hdate=2009&lnav=hist5 and http://news.google.com/archivesearch?q=%22northeast+football+alliance%22&scoring=a&sa=N&sugg=d&as_ldate=2009/07&as_hdate=2009/12&lnav=hist9.  I'll refrain from getting into the other issues raised in the discussion

Comment: WP:GNG doesn't prohibit local sources, and  appears only to refer to events rather than entitites, so I don't buy in to either of those arguments. That said, the level of coverage in the local news sources looks fairly limited in scope. Maybe just enough to qualify as significant coverage, but not as convincing as I thought it might be
