2009 Vitonen – Finnish League Division 5

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Fails WP:NOTSTATS, because very few care about - and cover - the sixth thier of football in a country of 6 million where ice hockey is the national sport. At one stage we stop to provide tables for amateur sport, and Vitonen is firmly below that threshold. Geschichte (talk) 20:24, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

 * Comment There are loads of non-league seasons, I am slightly confused by this single nomination. Nostats for season pages of leagues is not a reason for deletion. Govvy (talk) 10:06, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
 * One reason is that I will never make a bundled nomination, since they have largely fallen out of favour. Another reason is that this page is new and it's a crossroads to stop more Vitonen pages from appearing. As such, there are not loads of pages about sixth-tier leagues in small countries. Yes, NOTSTATS is a reason for deletion because it's a part of the policy WP:NOT. Leagues should be covered only when they get significant attention. Geschichte (talk) 17:15, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
 * New? The article was created 25 January 2010‎! Finland a small country? I don't think so, you failed to mention general notability issues. Really, this is a very poor nomination from my perspective. Govvy (talk) 21:22, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I apologise for calling it new - it appeared in the Football New Articles Search page, but that was because of a page move. Geschichte (talk) 08:20, 10 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Delete - no evidence of notability. If sources are found which show significant coverage please ping me. GiantSnowman 18:43, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete fails WP:GNG. Just because WP:OSE for similarly minor leagues elsewhere on Wiki, that doesn't justify the existence of this. Joseph2302 (talk) 09:16, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
