This is a proposed guideline for establishing the notability of semi-professional sports leagues.

The following criteria should be considered when attempting to determine if a semi-pro league is notable. If the league:


 * 1) been around for 10 years or more, thus proving that it's not a fly-by-night deal;
 * 2) has teams located in more than one state;
 * 3) has verifiable coverage in third-party publications (newspapers and the like);

it's almost certainly notable. If it meets criterion 1 or 2 and 3, it's probably notable. If it only meets crierion 3, it's possibly notable. A league failing criterion 3, however, is most likely not notable even if it meets 1 and 2.
