 * , as it is, this nomination is arguably eligible for speedy keep per WP:CSK#1 and even #3. You seem to know of WP:AFDHOWTO, but what about the preceding section,WP:BEFORE? Please read it, and update your nomination with a valid WP:DELREASON. You have made one assertion about the state of the article; it's neither true nor enough reason for deletion if true. You've made more nominations that look identical. I'd advise you to stop and see how these ones go, first. In the meantime, an admin should seriously consider if the current nominations should be speedy kept and the nom advised to make better nominations moving forward. Regards!

 * Delete. I agree with Usedtobecool about the quality of the nomination but this article fails WP:V having been unsourced since 2014. In football terms, the league is minor and well outside WP:FPL. Fails GNG too. No Great Shaker (talk) 06:09, 17 October 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete - no evidence of notability. GiantSnowman 13:13, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete: Fails WP:SIGCOV. I could not find any English-language Google results that would satisfy GNG outside of passing mentions of the league. There certainly could be Nepali language-sources, however that's not my expertise. If someone can provide those, I could be persuaded to change my answer depending on that level of coverage.

 * Keep WP:NEXIST, WP:BIAS. There is absolutely no way that the second-tier tournament of a country of 30 million which loves football as much as any other would not meet WP:GNG. There is not much online but there is enough evidence to indicate that national newspapers at the time would have covered this. See this and this. I assume this is also reliable? It has WP:SIGCOV. There is plenty of additional coverage, including in goal.com which I have not mentioned because I am not sure of their reliablity. There is similar bits and pieces coverage of other seasons in RSes online which is another indicator that the record is patchy online for older seasons but all of them are covered with equal interest by the established national newspapers; and therefore the complete coverage should be available offline. If you search for the latest season of this tournament, you can find every little detail of it in all the reputable online RSes. Usedtobecool ☎️ 09:11, 22 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep per Usedtobecool, appears to be enough coverage available. Plus, the nominator doesn't appear to have done a WP:BEFORE. Afd is WP:NOTCLEANUP. NemesisAT (talk) 20:40, 22 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep - Usedtobecool's arguments are compelling here. In response, I would say that being covered regularly in Goal.com would be evidence of notability as well. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 20:01, 24 October 2021 (UTC)
 * This and this from goal.com are quickly found. I found this with a harder look. There may be more. Such as this. Usedtobecool ☎️ 03:15, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep, as there is plenty of coverage in Nepalese sources.Jackattack1597 (talk) 21:14, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
