Another ridiculous contested redirect, with zero in-depth coverage from independent sources. So now we're here.  Onel 5969  TT me 16:52, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

 * How is it ridiculous when the source is from the website of the governing body itself?! Ghdfghmp (talk) 05:30, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
 * WP:GNG requires reliable sources independent of the subject which the governing body wouldn't be Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 09:41, 2 April 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep I find it hard to believe that the current season of the top women's league of the second-most populous country on Earth has no significant coverage. A quick search indicates a variety of sources: InsideSport, Sportstar, The Times of India, News18, Sportskeeda, The Sentinel, The Statesman. While the article needs sources to be improved, it should not be deleted. And there will be a lot more coverage once the season begins later this month. S.A. Julio (talk) 22:43, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Draftify Delete The sources available at this time are just regurgitating the announcement of the new season, and there is not yet any independent analysis to meet WP:GNG. There may be better articles in the future., so follow WP:SHOWSPOTENTIAL and hope for the best. BruceThomson (talk) 01:23, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep - Per SA Julio. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 07:20, 14 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete due to source analysis above. While I would love to see women's sport receive a greater share of the coverage, unfortunately it is not supported by the sources at this time. Hopefully it is just a WP:TOOSOON situation, which won't be the case in future. MrsSnoozyTurtle 01:15, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I am sensitive to the poor quality of the sources as they stand, but I want to point out that the season is scheduled to begin in less than 10 days, at which point common sense says that the body of sources will change considerably, and recreation (if this is deleted) is almost certain. So what encyclopedic purpose do we serve by deleting it in the interim, or by spending a considerable period arguing over it? Just food for thought; not going to engage in depth here. Vanamonde (Talk) 05:05, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I think the point of the WP:TOOSOON concept is that it's too much of a burden for us to guess whether an article will have significant coverage in the future. We don't want to have to come back in a couple of months and say "Still no significant coverage, should we wait a bit more?" Instead we deal with what we can see right now. Of course, there are also the WP:SNG guidelines that allow us to bypass the requirement of significant coverage in some cases, but this article doesn't meet any of those.
