Arena Football Federation

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable proposed football league. Right now, only mentions I can find about this league are two websites run by the "league" and several facebook pages. This shouldn't be confused with Arena Football League or the former af2. LionMans Account (talk) 17:20, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete for now (draft & userfy if needed) as my searches found nothing good and it's not surprising as this is newly formed and I would've also suggested moving elsewhere but there's no apparently good target. SwisterTwister   talk  05:30, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete. No substantial coverage in secondary sources, so it fails WP:GNG. This may eventually be notable, but it isn't right now. I'm not opposed to userfying if anyone wants to keep this for potential future use. ~ RobTalk 10:02, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Technically, the primary notability guideline for organizations, including sports teams and leagues, is WP:ORG, but the WP:ORG standards are so close to WP:GNG, that they usually amount to the same thing. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 00:44, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
 * That's the specific guideline, yes. No notability guidelines can be passed with zero coverage, though. ~ RobTalk 01:05, 29 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete - Fails WP:ORG and WP:GNG for lack of significant coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources. Non of sources used in the article are independent of the subject; they are a collection of websites of the proposed league and proposed franchises.  The article can be recreated if and when there is significant published coverage of the league in independent reliable sources, e.g., newspapers, magazines, books, sports news websites, etc.  Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 22:29, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
