 * Comment did it receive any secondary press at all? SportingFlyer  T · C  19:30, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
 * it's pretty much impossible to find news about Lebanese football below the second tier. Maybe one might find the occasional article about the third tier, but surely not about the fourth or fifth tier. Especially from five years ago. The only thing I can find about this specific season is the Goalzz league table. <b style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:80%;color:#000080">Nehme</b><b style="font-family:Verdana;color:#27B382">1499</b> (<b style="font-size:80%;color:#a9a9a9">talk</b>) 19:54, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
 * I searched the Arabic name and some websites came up, but I really struggle with Arabic sources, so thought I'd ask as to why this would be considered non-notable. SportingFlyer  T · C  20:17, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Searching for الدوري اللبناني الدرجة الرابعة (literally: Lebanese Fourth Division) on Google, I found the Kooora/Goalzz (same website) tables I noted above, some Facebook posts, this article about a scandal in 2019, and various miscellaneous articles. Nothing really of note. Italy's ninth tier (Terza Categoria) has way more news and coverage than Lebanon's fourth tier. Also, there is general consensus among WP:FOOTY that leagues are notable if clubs in it can participate in the domestic cup. In Lebanon, all first and second tier clubs compete in the Lebanese FA Cup, as well as only a handful of third tier clubs. <b style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:80%;color:#000080">Nehme</b><b style="font-family:Verdana;color:#27B382">1499</b> (<b style="font-size:80%;color:#a9a9a9">talk</b>) 20:41, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
 * No worries, appreciate the discussion. I didn't think this would get over the line but I didn't want to assume anything. SportingFlyer  T · C  21:03, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - no evidence of notability. GiantSnowman 10:24, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
