Earl Shilton Albion FC

 * – ( View AfD View log )

According to FCHD, they have never played at level 10 or above nor have they ever been eligible for any national cups like the FA Vase or FA Cup so doesn't meet the WP:FOOTYN rule of thumb.

I found some mentions in Stamford Mercury and Rugby Advertiser but this depth of coverage in local papers is not usually sufficient for WP:GNG. More of the same in ProQuest. Similar discussions on clubs like St Agnes A.F.C., Old Bradwell United F.C. and Loughton Orient F.C. all resulted in deletion. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 17:55, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Just questioning if there is a way for this article to either stay or be merged with another. I just think that there is some depth and reason to this article, and references are included. BMB YT 50000
 * The only alternative I can think of is redirecting the article to Leicestershire Senior League although, as per the similar cases above, we usually just delete articles on clubs outside the threshold. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 18:31, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
