Consisting nearly completely of red links and lacks references, would be better implemented as a category. RadioFan (talk) 19:48, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep - whilst I understand the nomination, by this editor, of the articles of some of the clubs this I regard as bizarre. This is a major regional league, with a number of notable clubs, that lies at level 4 of the Irish pyramid. In any case, the page obviously does a job not that cannot be carried out by a category. If it is considered that there are too many red links, then the answer is to write more articles since there are several notable clubs without pages.

Comment notability of the items on the list do not make the list itself notable. This isn't List of Leinster Senior League football clubs, it's Leinster Senior League and the intro is scant at best. If the league is notable, the article should be expanded with information about its history but that hasn't happened in the nearly 3 years the article has existed. It lacks any 3rd party references. I see the league mentioned in books and news articles but I'm no football expert so its difficult to tell if these are passing mentions identifying notable teams or if there is sufficient coverage where the league is the subject of the articles. These references are not optional.--RadioFan (talk) 21:53, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep - agree with TerriersFan, a bizarre nomination - the article is 10000% notable; it needs improving, not deleting! Giant Snowman 21:54, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep This is effectively the fourth tier in the Republic of Ireland, and is inherently notable. пﮟოьεԻ 5 7 13:18, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep Agree with the above, this is a good article but needs work. Govvy (talk) 20:35, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, one of the main leagues in Ireland.--Vintagekits (talk) 10:23, 16 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
