Women's Premier Soccer League Canada

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

This article is about a proposed association football league that stalled in its development over a year ago and is unlikely to ever play a game. It fails notability requirements for a football league (WP:FOOTY/Notability) I am wordsmyth (talk) 15:00, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

 * Comment It does appear to be mostly dead. But it would be a shame to lose the material, which surely does have some relevance to this history of womens' professional soccer in Canada. I wonder if the material could be distilled down to a paragraph or two and placed in Women's soccer in Canada or Canadian soccer league system. At the same time, there isn't a page for Project 8, which does seem to be gaining traction, with 3 clubs now announced. Nfitz (talk) 22:57, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep. Passes WP:GNG as there was significant news coverage of the proposed league. Apparently there's a slightly different proposal now being considered (Project 8 / WPSL PRO). We can consider merging with that topic in the future. pburka (talk) 12:03, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Is it slightly different though, User:Pburka. Completely different organization, and the Project 8 league would operate on a higher level than the WPSL proposal. Meanwhile there's nothing precluding WPSL moving ahead with something later. I'm not arguing against - I really don't know what the best option is. Nfitz (talk) 20:55, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm just speculating about the future. But the best option right now is to keep this page since the proposal is notable. pburka (talk) 21:09, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Does WP:FUTURE on product announcements apply here? "Until such time that more encyclopedic knowledge about the product can be verified, product announcements should be merged to a larger topic (such as an article about the creator(s), a series of products, or a previous product) if applicable." If all we have is an announcement and reactions to the announcement, even as significant and notable coverage, does that warrant an article? For instance, WPSL PRO, which also has some SIGCOV but few confirmed details, is listed on Women's Premier Soccer League rather than its own article — that seems appropriate. -Socccc (talk) 16:48, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge/redirect per Nfitz. GiantSnowman 19:25, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep Defunct or not, the coverage is sufficient to meet WP:GNG. MrsSnoozyTurtle 00:34, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
