Champions Professional Indoor Football League

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Tiny league of only five clubs, no obvious notability since it hasn't even started yet  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  05:42, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep. Four of the five teams have played previously in notable leagues (the American Professional Football League and the Indoor Football League), while the one expansion team is picking up significant coverage in their local area (and already has quite a few Arena Football League players signed).  Also, various sources have been added to this article, and various more are around for every team in thie league.  Sounds solid enough to actually work. Tom Danson (talk) 07:56, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep The league has gathered plenty of sources from multiple writers and newspapers throughout the Midwest. As stated by Tom Danson, the league has already confirmed 4 teams that have gotten nobility. DMC511 (talk) 15:32, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep Read an article about this just yesterday in the Kansas City Business Journal. That's another source that isn't even included in the article.--Paul McDonald (talk) 17:55, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. There is more than ample in-depth coverage of the league in independent reliable sources to satisfy the general notability standard per WP:GNG.  I would caution other editors, however, that the notability of the league does not presage the notability of the league's teams, seasons, players or coaches, and I expect that we will hold those related articles to a strict interpretation of the WP:GNG and WP:NSPORTS, as we are doing here.

 * Keep While this league will indeed not begin play until the not-too-distant future, Next Sunday, A.D., there are sufficent sources to establish the league as notable now, instead of having to wait until then. - The Bushranger One ping only 23:38, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
