Northeast Midget Hockey League
The consensus at WP:HOCKEY seems to be that while junior hockey (the highest level of amateur hockey competition) is relevant and notable, midget (one step down, and for players 17 and under) is not. This league is not particularly noteworthy and falls a little too far down the scale. Also, a team in the league, the Connecticut Renegades, was nominated here with no consensus, and another team was deleted here. I voted to keep both teams but would now change my vote per further consideration and discussion; if anyone wants to re-nominate the Connecticut team I would support that deletion.

 * Keep. A league article is ok.  Team articles would be overkill.  Powers 17:57, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and per my comments here; the results of Googling NEMHL (full name gets nothing of interest) really don't suggest any sort of notability. Angus McLellan (Talk) 21:59, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete: I've been in the thick of the notability debate on hockey leagues, but midget = downright youth team; this is an age level comparable to high school conferences, which I doubt Wikipedia includes. RGTraynor 05:42, 30 June 2006 (UTC)


 *  AFD relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.  Please add new discussions below this notice. Thanks, Deathphoenix ʕ 15:42, 7 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete The league isn't even remotely notable. I think the fact that "Northeast Midget Hockey League" gets TWO non-Wikipedia hits (one being their web site) says it all. -- Kicking222 17:11, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
 * For full disclosure, Googling "NEMHL"+hockey gets about 2,500 hits, but less than FORTY are unique. -- Kicking222 17:12, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per Angusmclellan. Stifle (talk) 18:08, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
