Deletion of Tallangatta & District Football League

Comment: There is nothing in  requiring that sports clubs be either professional or at national standard, and indeed there are hundreds of articles on minor and amateur teams and leagues.  Is there amateur play in Australian football at a higher level

Comment: for all articles for which verifiable secondary sources can be found after some effort has been made to find relevant sources. After this search, individual non-notable clubs can either be merged to the League article, or with their own town article. However, I would be very surprised if there were not many secondary references for each club, especially some of the older clubs that date back more than 100 years. I am poorly versed in sports history, but I suspect there are secondary references in published historical sources for many of the club articles. As said before, most clubs would also be substantively reported on by local papers, so would be very surprised if they are deleted because no verifiable secondary sources could be found. Amateur Footie clubs are often locally important, even notable, social organisations and football league games are important social events in country Australia. This is reflected by the coverage in the sports journalism in country newspapers. I am keenly aware we need to take into account from otability ''the discussion should focus not only on whether notability is established in the article, but on what the probability is that notability could be established. If it is likely that independent sources could be found for a topic, deletion due to lack of notability is inappropriate unless active effort has been made to find these sources
