After sending a football club in this league to AfD, I decided to have a look at the league itself, I don't see anything on a google search to consider this is notable. I did "Lothian & Edinburgh Amateur Football Association" as a search string and only got five pages. Out of all of those pages I only saw one source which I liked and that was sponsorship. [1]. The rest, well, I see nothing than can contribute to general WP:GNG. There is a similar problem with the other Scottish Amateur league pages including; Midlands Amateur Football Association, Orkney Amateur Football Association, Perthshire Amateur Football Association, Shetland Football Association, Stirling & District Amateur Football Association, Strathclyde Amateur Football League and Uist & Barra Amateur Football Association. (There are more of these articles around than posted here). Where as we have created these amateur football league association pages, where all the information is acquired from one link which is a primary link. I am still confused why we have these articles when they don't even pass the basic level of our notability guidelines on wikipedia. Govvy ( talk) 10:46, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

- Redirect to Scottish Amateur Football Association, possibly a new section on that article listing all the regional affiliated associations. Giant Snowman 21:56, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
- Redirect to Scottish Amateur Football Association: In general, I like the idea of deepening the coverage of associations and their transformations over time, but regarding this one, such coverage as I can find is about incidents at particular games involving associated clubs, not enough to demonstrate notability. GiantSnowman's proposal seems the best outcome. AllyD ( talk) 15:32, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
