 * Keep and Redirect the other article here I think the editor above is right and the title should be "2016–17 Calcutta Football League Premier Division" instead of "2016–17 Calcutta Premier Division". However the article for 2016–17 Calcutta Premier Division is many tiers better and our article should be replaced (copypasted over) by its contents. So we should keep the current name, redirect the other article here and paste that article's source over our article. Mr. Magoo (talk) 12:01, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Strong Redirect to 2016–17 Calcutta Premier Division. After a lot of research, I've discovered that they're popularly called just Calcutta Premier Division, as CFL is misunderstood to mean Canadian Football League and Calcutta FL probably wants to develop a unique brand. I also researched other premier leagues and discovered that it's indeed the standard to just be called the premier division of your city/country instead of having the "Football League" alongside in the title even if that were the full and proper name. One notable one I found to still carry the Football League in its title was Belize, but even that ended after a merger: Premier League of Belize. This means that as long as there is competition the singular "Premier Division of X" isn't used, but if there is no competition it's used. In Calcutta there doesn't seem to be competition. Here are some other examples: Kabul Premier League, Welsh Premier League, Lebanese Premier League, Maltese Premier League, Brunei Premier League, Bahraini Premier League, Kuwaiti Premier League, Scottish Premier Division, Antigua and Barbuda Premier Division, Indonesian Premier Division, Gibraltar Premier Division and Bermudian Premier Division because I got tired.
