Hi Payton! Thanks for your message on my talk page (and welcome to Wikipedia!). I just wanted to let you know that the reason I proposed this article for deletion is not because I have anything against it, or because I have a league of my own (I don't, but if I did it would probably be for soccer, as I live in the UK). Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and there are certain policies which decide what articles are here. It appeared to me that your football league was not notable, which is why I proposed it for deletion. The notability guidelines say that a subject should have received significant coverage from reliable sources, like newspapers, books or on the web. Although it is unlikely that your article meets the notability criteria at the moment, there are lots of other wikis at List of wikis which don't have the same policies, which might be a good fit for your article. Alternatively, you could try Wikia which is a Wiki community started by Jimmy Wales, who also started Wikipedia. You could also start your own personal wiki or use wiki software to make a wiki on the web. If there's anything I can help you with, please feel free to leave a message on my talk page. Thanks! -- Kateshort  forbob  10:01, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
