Amateur Ballplayers League

The organization shows no evidence of meeting the notability requirements. Most of the references are directory listings or advertisements about events, and the main one that isn't looks to be a copy of a press release. Unfortunately, a search on the brand didn't seem to turn up anything of note. Bilby (talk) 03:08, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

 I would almost characterize this as a Speedy Delete...it's that much of a slam dunk It is written like an advertisement. As mentioned by the nominator, the sources are announcements about upcoming events. Wikipedia isn't the place for this type of article. Sounds like what you would find on the league webpage. It's an advertisement. Go Phightins! (talk) 02:54, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - local amateur league. Not all of them fail notability - but this one does. - The Bushranger One ping only 02:36, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
