American Premier League (soccer)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article is about a regional league which does not seem to meet WP:ORG, specifically depth of sources. The only sources offered are associated with the league or are very basic press releases. I had PRODded the page but the creator removed it with the edit summary "Removed deletion template because it is unreasonable to expect detailed independent press coverage of a league which has just restarted and is currently in the off-season"; which may indicate it is too soon for an article on this regional league. There must be independent reliable sources. 331dot (talk) 21:40, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep - The league is affiliated with the United States Adult Soccer Association, which means its teams are eligible for the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. Being a regional soccer league, it will not gain widespread coverage outside its geographic area. Should we also bring every article for a USASA-affiliated league to AfD? — Jkudlick • t • c • s 17:19, 26 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Note - I would not be opposed to a redirect as suggested by GiantSnowman below. — Jkudlick • t • c • s 11:36, 29 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Redirect to United States Adult Soccer Association, no evidence of independent notability. GiantSnowman 18:10, 26 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect if questionably independently notable. SwisterTwister   talk  06:21, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
