Wearside Combination Football League

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This league, which was believed to be at level 13 of the English football league system, although was not officially part of the system, does not meet WP:FOOTYN criteria for presumed notability. Its notability has to be based purely on coverage. The only decent coverage this league ever seemed to get was when it closed down; see Sunderland Echo.

In my searches, I only found one completely trivial book mention, a listing of results in Chronicle Live and a passing mention in the same paper. Searching the British newspaper archive for Wearside Combination League only yielded results listings, league tables and fixture listings, all of which are far from WP:SIGCOV. I also note that only the Sunderland Echo ever seemed to even mention this league. Searching its full name returned even less. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 17:42, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
