 * Delete - WP:CRYSTAL applies here. Even though there are several reliable sources in the article, and the creator obviously put a lot of effort into it, we're still talking about a list of minor league football teams that might exist someday. We can make articles for each of them if and when they become a thing. Kurtis (talk) 00:13, 1 August 2020 (UTC)


 * Not to delete - Although it's easy to think the article is WP:CRYSTAL most of it feature past attempts for minor league teams. The article is categorizing the list by unofficial hierarchy that are derivative mostly from academic research about the markets and feature reliable sources. It's not different from an article about proposed attempts to build a sports stadium. — Preceding unsigned comment added by StanleyKey (talk • contribs) 01:53, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails WP:LISTN (no sources found showing that the topic "has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources") and WP:GNG (lack of significant coverage in multiple, reliable, independent sources). Nominator's concerns with WP:OR also appear to be well-taken. Cbl62 (talk) 02:40, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete here's my problem with it... "I propose that Kackley, Kansas should be the home of the next *FL team." Now, based on the article title and criteria, we need to include this wide spot in the road (no offense to the handful of fine people who live in or near Kackley).  It's just too broad of a list.  I believe this is beyond just an "editing" issue and the encyclopedia will be better off removing this article.  Enthusiastic editors should start over with a more refined definition and inclusion criteria or not have the article at all.  Personally, I found the subject and detail interesting, but "I like it" is not a measure for notability.   There seems to be a good number of sources for individual entries in the list so it's been "discussed" but I'm not convinced that this broad of a topic and this large of a list is in alignment with the article and the broad potential inclusion.  Many such "proposals" could be considered an "and finally" type article or just a passing mention.  I guess I'm landing on ignore all rules because deletion would make Wikipedia better.  Perhaps editors should try another wiki such as an online sports almanac, fan blog, or other forum.--Paul McDonald (talk) 15:43, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
