 * Delete all While the competitions are notable (although only just, in my opinion) the individual seasons certainly aren't. The cups are played mostly between reserve and semi-professional teams and there is no coverage other than routine local round-ups so I can't see how these pass the GNG.

 * Delete As BigDom notes, the competitions themselves are notable overall, but I can't see how a single season merits an article. пﮟოьεԻ   5  7  11:48, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge Could some of the pertinent information (teams competing, perhaps) for the various years be merged into a more general article, like the existing Lancashire_FA_Challenge_Trophy one?David V Houston (talk) 14:12, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
 * That competition has been running for 125 years, and a list of teams that have competed in it would be huge. To only merge in the details of teams competing in the last two seasons would look a bit silly IMO...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 14:18, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
 * All the articles in question contain a list of winners (and in some cases the runners-up too) - that's all that's needed as far as listing teams is concerned.  Bettia  (talk)  15:52, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete all per my comments in the original discussion at WT:FOOTY. – PeeJay 15:46, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete all as per nom. GiantSnowman 19:58, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge or Keep - as mentioned above, its a big deal for teams at this level, maybe if we could do like they do on the Manchester FA Cup page and have the latest season's tournament as a bracket. Heyesy (talk) 07:44, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
