Galway Intermediate Football Championship

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No indication of notability; much of the content is unsourced, and the only secondary sources are routine sports coverage of individual games, something that explicitly isn't considered "significant" for the purposes of WP:GNG. Google Books gave zero results, Google News nothing better than what's there already. For the same reasons I'm also nominating the articles on individual years, 2019 Galway Intermediate Football Championship and 2018 Galway Intermediate Football Championship.

 * Keep Though this is in the "football" section it's actually Gaelic. A quick WP:BEFORE search shows the league is covered by a number of local and national media, such as . The league clearly gets covered and I think WP:GNG is satsified. SportingFlyer  T · C  01:20, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
 * That's the routine sports coverage that explicitly does not establish notability. See Notability. Huon (talk) 02:07, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
 * When it comes to leagues, I very much disagree - the fact a league gets continuous coverage in national and regional press clearly demonstrates the league is "of note," even if the coverage is just game coverage. Compare this to say a player whose name only gets mentioned in said coverage. I'm not sure what type of coverage you're specifically looking for here.

 * 'Routine sports coverage explicitly does not establish notability', however Notability has mentioned that "sustained coverage is an indicator of notability". I would argue the point that as the coverage of this topic has been sustained for over 10 years through sources referenced that this would indicate the article satifies WP:GNG Keithopatches 12:17, 13 November 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete – fails GNG. There isn't an SNG apparently that guides us. Local press coverage of individual games doesn't strike me as the equivalent of GNG coverage of the competition itself, as a competition. Looking at the sources, I can't help but think that local media provides similar coverage of my local Little League games, and there's no way my local Little League is notable. I think it's routine local coverage, and therefore doesn't lend itself to establishing notability. – Levivich 05:30, 26 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Redirect as suggested below is probably a good idea as it's a usable search term. – Levivich 21:27, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete – Non notable, and fails WP:GNG. Strong delete or redirect to Gaelic Athletic Association - Jay (talk) 06:21, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
