A WP:BEFORE search yields nothing more than a trivial mention in a newspaper and an equally trivial mention in a book. Even FCHD has very little info on this league. I'm happy to be proved wrong but this looks like a WP:GNG fail. Spiderone 16:28, 12 October 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Results listing and match reporting don't really indicate GNG, they can be found for competition at almost any level, so not really seeing anything to support GNG, bit no harm waiting another week to see if initial claims of notability can be supported by more substantial articles.
 * Delete - low level amateur league. local interest only. Nigej (talk) 10:51, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep there's significant and frequent media references to this league, particularly in the 1920s and 1930s, with some notable extant or recent clubs previously playing in this league such as Bridlington Town A.F.C. and North Ferriby United A.F.C.. Here's a match report in the 1936 Manchester Guardian, and here's an old newspaper search with hundreds of pre-war results. Page needs improving and expanding to include it's more notable pre-war history. Can you look again User:GiantSnowman? Nfitz (talk) 05:38, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
