Similar case to Guildford and Woking Alliance League and other sub-county leagues that have been deleted in the past year or so for failing WP:GNG and because they are at a very low amateur level of the sport, played mostly on public pitches with very low attendances. Online searches reveal only very infrequent coverage in local papers such as this article in the Midsomer Norton, Radstock & District Journal. Similarly, a search of British newspapers yields little better than occasional results roundups in the Cheddar Valley Gazette and the Shepton Mallet Journal and other local papers with very limited audiences. As with the twenty or so other similar articles deleted recently with clear consensus, there is nothing here that establishes notability in the context of a general and global encyclopaedia.

- Delete per nom. A local amateur league only and therefore not notable. No Great Shaker (talk) 13:23, 10 October 2021 (UTC)
- Delete - no evidence of notability. GiantSnowman 13:38, 10 October 2021 (UTC)
- Delete as others mentioned it's a local league and doesn't qualify any Wikipedia's notability. Brayan ocaner (talk) 21:10, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

- Delete - I would concur with the views above that this league is not of the standard required to meet notability requirements. Dunarc (talk) 20:51, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
Delete, I feel this should be deleted similar to my reason for the 5. divisjon. Just cause it exists does not mean it needs an article. SecretlyQuebecois (talk) 20:12, 13 October 2021 (UTC)SecretlyQuebecois is a CU-confirmed sock. Newshunter12 (talk) 23:08, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
