League is not notable. Nothing has been included to prove notability and search of the Internet reveals nothing that could rescue this situation in any way to equal it with say AFL Cairns for instance (AFL venue for premiership points and 2004 GF debacle).

- Keep. How about a search of Queensland sources such as the Bundaberg News-Mail and/or the Fraser Coast Chronicle? At least as notable as a range of minor leagues in Vic, SA and WA. Even if the topic could not support a stand-alone article - a merge to Australian rules football in Queensland would be preferable. -- Mattinbgn (talk) 20:50, 11 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- It's already listed on the Australian rules football leagues in regional Queensland page, and that's another reason why this should be deleted. I also disagree that this league is as notable as the minor leagues in the football states. The papers don't prove notability. I know because I'm familiar with them and have examined them as far back as 1972. In fact, the papers provide minor coverage compared to other sports, which is also distinct to the minor leagues in the football states. Footy Freak7 (talk) 21:21, 11 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- It's as keeper for sure, this league is now 25 years old, and there is probably more information on this page that some of the Tasmanian competitions that are over 70 years! Keep and let's build on it Purrum (talk) 23:49, 12 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- No matter how much work you do, you'll never get this to pass WP:N in my opinion. On the point of Tassie, check out what I'm about to do - and it includes a big notability point. Footy Freak7 (talk) 02:50, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment: I looked on Newsbank and had problems finding any sources. :( A look through Google shows <Carlie Walker (2012-02-11).
